Well, the Menteri Besar of Opposition coalition government in Selangor, and hands over a RM30,000 cheque, to a Mosque in the area of the by elections.
Pada majlis itu juga Azmin menyerahkan peruntukan bernilai RM30,000 untuk Masjid Binjai Jaya. Kata Azmin permohonan mendapatkan peruntukan itu dibuat sebelum musim pilihan raya kecil akan diadakan.
Is it Azmin Ali's personal donation? NO
Is it a donation from PKR? NO
Is it money of the Selangor government? YES - it is, and Azmin Ali says that the allocation was approved long before. Well, why give it now - and publicly at Opposition campaign event? State funds, if disbursed out should be done by the State at State events - that, I believe, is the right way.
When he came to this Opposition candidate's campaign event, was he there as Menteri Besar(chief Minister) coming there with a government car with a government paid driver? In my opinion, he should be there as just an Opposition leader for this was an election campaign, without using State government funds and/or resources.
Well, we (including the Opposition) have always been critical of similar Barisan Nasional behaviour in the past - and sadly, we see that Azmin Ali of PKR...of Pakatan Harapan doing the very same thing. What is the response from PKR? DAP? BERSIH? This certainly was wrong...
Interesting also is the excuse given by Azmin for his absence earlier - What do you think of that...
But Azmin said he was busy with his official duty to accompany the Selangor sultan, who is also the head of Islam in the state, in the monarch’s public appearances during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. “As the mentri besar, it is my responsibility to follow the sultan to be with the people in Selangor. “Last night during an event with His Highness at the Jeram mosque, I whispered to him if I can be allowed to come here tonight. He agreed to me coming to Sungai Besar,” Azmin explained during the breaking of fast at Kampung Hala Cara Baru here this evening.
Azmin sokong AMANAH, doakan PAS
Menteri Besar Selangor Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali sudah menyatakan
dengan jelas, beliau menyokong calon Pakatan Harapan (HARAPAN) dalam
pilihan raya kecil Sungai Besar.
Berucap di majlis berbuka puasa di Sungai Besar petang tadi Azmin
berkata, selepas mengadakan perbincangan panjang lebar beliau memberikan
sokongan penuh kepada Azhar Shukur dari Parti Amanah Negara (AMANAH).
Bagaimanapun Azmin tidak mengetepikan terus lawan AMANAH dari PAS, Dr
Rani Osman, yang dianggapnya seorang rakan di DUN Selangor.
"Saya doakan dia (Dr Rani) terus maju untuk sama-sama dalam satu tekad melawan kezaliman di Putrajaya," katanya.
Di majlis anjuran HARAPAN itu, Dr Rani turut hadir kerana beranggapan ia terbuka untuk semua.
Walaupun bersaing dalam pilihan raya kecil kali ini kehadiran Dr Rani disambut mesra oleh pemimpin dan penyokong HARAPAN.
Pilihan raya kecil Sungai Besar - dan Kuala Kangsar - akan diadakan serentak pada 18 Jun ini.
Selain Dr Rani, Azhar berdepan saingan daripada calon BN Budiman Mohd
Zohdi untuk mengisi kekosongan ditinggalkan arwah Datuk Noriah Kasnon.
Itu mentaliti Umno
Kemunculan Azmin petang tadi adalah yang pertama untuknya sejak hari penamaan calon pada 5 Jun lalu.
Ketiadaan Azmin berkempen di kawasan berkenaan menyebabkan sesetengah
pihak termasuk PAS dan Umno mendakwa ADUN Bukit Antarabangsa itu tidak
memberikan sokongan padu kepada AMANAH.
Namun kata Azmin beliau sebenarnya sibuk mengiringi Sultan Selangor
Sultan Shariffudin Idris Shah menghadiri pelbagai acara sempena Ramadan.
Namun katanya, beliau mendapat perkenan sultan untuk berada di Sungai
Besar pada hari ini dan Jumaat, manakala esok di Kuala Kangsar.
Azmin juga mengkritik Ketua Pemuda Umno Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar yang mengatanya kerana tidak muncul berkempen sebelum ini.
"Itulah mentaliti Umno. Saya (sebenarnya) tak perlu pulun kerja di Sungai Besar semata-mata kerana ada pilihan raya kecil.
"Itu (turun berkempen hari-hari) adalah cara Umno. Apabila ada
pilihan raya kecil baru nak turun (padang), baru nak tengok orang
kampung," katanya.
Sebaliknya kata Azmin kerajaan Selangor membantu rakyat negeri itu secara berkesan sejak 2008.
Pada majlis itu juga Azmin menyerahkan peruntukan bernilai RM30,000 untuk Masjid Binjai Jaya.
Kata Azmin permohonan mendapatkan peruntukan itu dibuat sebelum musim pilihan raya kecil akan diadakan. - Malaysiakini, 14/6/2016

BERNAM, June 14 — Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azmin Ali publicly
declared today his support for Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) candidate
Azhar Shukur in the Sungai Besar by-election.The PKR deputy president has raised eyebrows with his absence from the campaign trail for his party’s political ally since nomination day on June 5.
But Azmin said he was busy with his official duty to accompany the Selangor sultan, who is also the head of Islam in the state, in the monarch’s public appearances during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
“As the mentri besar, it is my responsibility to follow the sultan to be with the people in Selangor.
“Last night during an event with His Highness at the Jeram mosque, I whispered to him if I can be allowed to come here tonight. He agreed to me coming to Sungai Besar,” Azmin explained during the breaking of fast at Kampung Hala Cara Baru here this evening.
He hit back at detractors from Umno who he claimed to have a fuss over his past absence, calling it a low-blow.
“This is Umno’s mentality. I don’t need to be here just because it’s the by-election. That is the Umno way. The Selangor government has always been helping the people of Sungai Besar,” Azmin said.
Rumours had circulated after Azmin’s absence on nomination day that the PKR Number Two was withdrawing from the campaign after failing to negotiate a deal with PAS to secure a straight fight between the federal opposition and the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN).
Another surprise attendance at the event was PAS’s Sungai Besar candidate Dr Rani Osman.
He joined Azmin and other Pakatan Harapan leaders including PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar, DAP’s Sekinchan assemblyman Ng Suee Lim and Amanah’s Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad to break fast.
Dr Rani played down his participation at the same function where his rival contender for Sungai Besar was also present, saying he had done the same earlier today at another event featuring BN candidate Budiman Mohd Zohdi.
“Today morning I was with Budiman and this evening I’m here,” the Meru assemblyman said, adding that he was also present out of respect for Azmin as Selangor MB.
“He is my Mentri Besar, I came to see him.”
Dr Rani said he was not worried of any repercussion from his party for sharing a meal with his political rivals.
“No, no, no. There is no problem in this, nothing will happen,” he said.
Based on the Election Commission’s (EC) statistics, the Sungai Besar federal constituency has 42,836 voters comprising 22,227 Malays votes, 13,142 Chinese, and 820 Indians with 98 from other races.
