PETALING JAYA: A photo of the families of Datuk Seri Azmin Ali and Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein holidaying in Morocco is bound to fan speculation of the leadership split developing in PKR.

Azmin’s eldest son Ameer Azmin posted the photo of the two families on Twitter posing at a holiday resort in Marrakesh with the intriguing caption, “Our families reunited”.

Hishammuddin and Azmin were posing with their hands in a tight clasp and wearing broad grins.

A video was also posted by Ameer on his social media platform, showing the two families settling down for a meal that included what looked like a lobster while Azmin and Hishammuddin chatted, wearing aviator sunshades.

The video was accompanied by the caption: “Reunited after so long”.

The holiday snaps come on the heels of the open fallout between PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his deputy Azmin over key appointments in the party’s supreme council and the state chairmanship.

Hishammuddin has also been involved in what some believe to be a plot to stop Anwar from being the next prime minister.

The holidaying entourage appeared to comprise 17 persons and encompassed three generations from both families.

Azmin and Hishammuddin have known each other over their years in politics, but taking a holiday together is something else altogether, and especially during these sensitive times.

Are they trying to send a deliberate message about a future political alliance in the making?
