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 has the authority to decide whether he should step down from his position. Asyraf, who is also Umno secretary-general, emphasized that he would comply if Zahid asked him to resign, but stressed that he would not resign due to pressure from PKR’s youth wing Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) or the party.

He reiterated that his primary focus is to safeguard Mara, an institution entrusted with the interests of Malays and Bumiputeras and established under Umno's leadership.
