Puad calls for proof of any warning to civil servants
The former Umno Supreme Council member questions if deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is stoking tension in the unity government.
Former Umno Supreme Council member Puad Zarkashi has demanded evidence of warnings to civil servants who attended government events during a state election, following allegations made by deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. In a Facebook post, Puad criticized Zahid's remarks as confrontational, questioning the necessity of his comments.
He urged Zahid to provide proof of any warnings issued to those officers if such claims are true, or else he is only fueling tensions within the unity government. On Thursday, Zahid had stated that some civil servants had been called for questioning regarding their attendance at ministry programs in states with elections, asserting that there was nothing wrong with attending such events.
However, he did not specify the alleged individuals applying pressure on civil servants, only mentioning that they were senior-level officials.
