INTERVIEW | Academic Abdul Aziz Bari has downplayed speculation that he will be a conduit for DAP to take the Perak menteri besar post if Pakatan Harapan wins in the 14th general election.

In an interview with Malaysiakini, Abdul Aziz said he was prepared to deal with the speculation, but stopped short of an outright denial.

Abdul Aziz has been tipped to stand in Tebing Tinggi, a relatively safe DAP state seat.
