KUALA LUMPUR: Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Azmin Ali has brushed aside calls for him to take a polygraph test after he was implicated in a sex video controversy. He was asked to comment on a suggestion by Umno supreme council member Datuk Lokman Noor Adam for him to take a polygraph test to determine the authenticity of the sex video. Azmin said he had taken the chance to meet party supporters to explain to them to privately discuss the latest issues. “At that time, I have defended him (Anwar) when he was attacked and slandered in 1998,” said Azmin. Asked why he did not attend the central committee meeting on Sunday, Azmin said he had been accompanying the Prime Minister in Bangkok, Thailand.
