PKR deputy Azmin Ali’s residence has been disturbed for the second
time under 24 hours as a group of 50 people staged a 20-minute protest
against him this afternoon.
According to eyewitness Hassan
Yusoff, the group of alleged Umno Ampang division members convened at a
road opposite of Azmin's residence at about 4pm, brandishing placards
while shouting anti-PKR slogans.
Hassan said the group chanted, "PKR is a liar, Azmin is corrupt."
The incident took place a day after some 20 bikers revved their engines outside Azmin's residence last night.
Azmin (left),
however, is not at home today. He is on a two-day trip to Sabah to meet
party leaders to finalise preparations for the coming general election.
Hassan,
who is Gombak PKR division vice chairperson, said the protestors did
not submit any memorandum to the Azmin’s family, nor did they commit any
acts of violence.
Under the close watch of two carloads of policemen, the protestors left the scene at around 4.20pm, he added.
Azmin’s wife Shamsidar Taharin was however unimpressed by the demonstration, calling it “a harassment and intrusion of privacy”.
“They came here, they disturbed my families, a sick father of mine and my neighbours.
“I
feel it is so stupid; it is the kind of gutter politics that Umno
practices,” she said when met by reporters outside the house.
Asked
why she thought Azmin was being repeatedly targeted in accusations and
protests, she said perhaps he is an easy target after opposition leader
Anwar Ibrahim.
Shamsidar lodged a police report last night and
will consider measures to beef up her house’s security in the wake of
today’s protest.
