State polls: I repented, says Azmin

PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali says his defeat in the 15th General Election (GE15) was not an end as he pledged to correct his shortcomings.

“I repented after losing in the last general election, I accepted the people’s decision. Maybe there was a reason why I was not chosen for the parliamentary seat. But that was not the end game for me,” he said at Perikatan Nasional’s grand finale Selangor Bangkit Gemilang ceramah in Taman Melawati.

“I took the opportunity over the last eight months to self-reflect. Maybe I have made a mistake or was careless, today, I vow that I will correct it and move forward to uphold the people’s dignity and develop Selangor,” he added.

Azmin lost to caretaker Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari for the Gombak seat in GE15.

The Selangor Perikatan chief, who is also the candidate for Hulu Kelang in the state polls, said that one vote for his opponent Pakatan Harapan is equivalent to a vote for the kleptocrats.

“Enough is enough, do not be fooled,” he said.

He also called on voters to turnout in droves to exercise their rights on polling day on Saturday (Aug 12).

Azmin will be taking on Pakatan’s Juiwairiya Zulkifli in a straight fight for Hulu Kelang.
