Allowing the controversial Kinrara-Damansara Expressway (Kidex) project to go on will deem Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali the “father of all hypocrites”, says the state Umno.

Selangor Umno chairperson Noh Omar said Azmin was beginning to show his true colours and has forgotten his promise to serve the people.

Referring to Azmin's decision to continue with the Kidex agreement, Noh said Azmin was being hypocritical as he was merely 'all talk but no action' and that the menteri besar’s motive reeked of personal interest.

“This is called hypocritical, as this is the attitude of all the leaders in Pakatan Rakyat. And Azmin is the head of hypocrites there,” Noh ( right ) is quoted as saying by Astro Awani .

The Kidex controversy is one of the reasons former menteri besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim was asked to step down in the first place.

Khalid's administration was flayed for its handling of the Kidex issue, and there were massive objections to the highway from Petaling Jaya residents.

Azmin had promised to review the project as well as all other highway projects involving the state government.

Azmin: State will not oppose Kidex

“The most important aspect of Kidex is whether all conditions are fulfilled. We will review all agreements,” Azmin had said upon assuming his post as menteri besar.

Last Friday, Azmin, after his visit to the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ), said the state government will not oppose to the construction of Kidex.

However, he indicated that the builders must comply with the PJ Local Planning guidelines, as reported by the English daily theSun .

Azmin had also said that Kidex must benefit the residents and the developer of the expressway has to submit a traffic dispersal report to show how the highway will ease congestion, as well as reports that toll receipts will yield a high rate of return.

Noh, on the other hand, called on the Pakatan leaders to come out and state their stance on the issue.

“Let's see if Kidex is the people's fight or Pakatan's personal struggle, as a whole,” he added.
