KUCHING, June 13: In the latest twist of events, the purported individual involved in the viral sex video allegedly also involving Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali claims that he was forced to deny that it was the said minister in the video.
Earlier today, in an online post on a Facebook account by the name of Haziq Aziz, the said individual who has been named by various media reports as Muhammad Haziq Abdul Aziz said his sworn testimony in a video confession uploaded yesterday had made him question the sincerity of the “new government in pursuing reformasi”, adding that he was accused by Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad of having a political agenda after making the confession.
The video confession mentioned was uploaded in an earlier post on the same Facebook account yesterday.
In the latest Facebook post today, Haziq claimed that before his video confession, after waiting for an hour at the Zest Restaurant in Marriot Putrajaya, a man named Hilman met him there purportedly sent by Azmin.
“He forced me to deny that it was you in the viral video and asked me to lie for you. I asked for more time to consult my parents and this angered him. After I refused, he made threats and said ‘This will be shut down within 48 hours with or without my help to lie’.
“It broke me that Azmin Ali, the man I looked up to, chose to tie his loose ends rather than owning up to his mistakes,” he said on his Facebook page today (June 13).
Haziq also accused Azmin of being the one who had recorded those videos for his own personal collection during the times they were intimate on numerous occasions.
He added that they were both together at the Grand Continental Kuching here three years ago, and then at Pullman Hotel Kuching during the party election in October last year.
“We did it again in Grand Hyatt KL during your stint as Menteri Pengiring to the Sultan of Brunei in March this year and our recent encounter at Fourpoint Sandakan last month,” he said.
Haziq also said he was worried that more videos would be leaked, adding that Azmin had the luxury to deny that it was him whereas his future was “over”.
“You even have the Prime Minister pledging his full support before any formal investigation had been done. Only the truth can set me free as I am concerned for the safety of my family and mine.
“I hope the public will see you as who you truly are – manipulative and have immense influence all together with your henchmen Hilman, Afif, Zuraida and the rest of your inner circle that are motivated by greed and power,” he said.
Meanwhile, Haziq in his latest Facebook post uploaded a police report he had lodged to counter Azmin’s political secretary Hilman Idham’s report, detailing his previous confession of meeting Hilman at the restaurant in Putrajaya.
