KUALA LUMPUR - Nine arrests in the space of 48 hours have reignited Malaysia's gay sex video saga, rocking the largest party in the ruling Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition and increasing uncertainty over succession planning when Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad eventually steps down.
National police chief Hamid Bador said just before the first arrests on Sunday (July 14) that they were closing in on the mastermind behind an alliance that released the clips last month implicating Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) deputy president Azmin Ali.
