Asyraf Wajdi says only Zahid can decide whether he should step down as Mara chairman

Mara chairman Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki has stated that only Deputy Prime Minister and Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi can decide whether he should step down from his position. Asyraf, who is also Umno secretary-general, emphasized that he would comply with Zahid's request to resign but stressed that he would not do so due to pressure from PKR’s youth wing Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) or the party.

Asyraf highlighted his commitment to safeguarding Mara, which he described as an institution entrusted with the interests of Malays and Bumiputeras and established under Umno’s leadership.
