Zahid: 'Enough is enough, guru'

KUALA LUMPUR: Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has hit out at a leader whom he claimed had refused to listen to the grievances and concerns of the people.

Zahid: 'Enough is enough, guru'

Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has strongly criticized a leader he claims has disregarded the concerns of the people. Calling the leader "guru," or teacher, Zahid urged him to halt what he deemed unhealthy for the nation's progress. The Malay leader declared, "Enough is enough, Guru! Listen to our voices, Guru! Listen to the voice of the people, oh Guru!

Enough is enough! God willing, we can do better than what Guru has done." Zahid's remarks were made during his policy speech at the 2026 Umno General Assembly, not in an attempt to stir up controversy. He emphasized the need to avoid fueling people's worries and creating endless confusion. While Zahid did not name the leader, it is widely believed he was referring to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

The "guru" reference stems from a leaked phone call between Zahid and Anwar in April 2021, where Zahid called Anwar "guru," or teacher.
