Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali appears to be touched by the compliments his predecessor Abu Hassan Omar gave him.

However, Azmin dismissed Abu Hassan's advice for him to switch parties.

"Thank you for your compliments Tan Sri (Abu Hassan) and I will continue to be with my party (PKR). I am not a frog," Azmin wrote on Facebook.

He was commenting on a Malaysiakini interview with Abu Hassan, in which the former menteri besar said Umno needed leaders like Azmin.

"This is my frank opinion, for we need a leader like him. As menteri besar, he is well liked. In his area (constituency), he is strong.

"I've known him since he was young, but the thing is (he is in) the wrong party," Abu Hassan had said.

Azmin is currently Selangor Pakatan Harapan chief, and is widely expected to keep his position as menteri besar should the coalition retain the state in the next general election.
