Kick us out of govt if you dare, Zahid tells critics
The Umno president also dares critics to table a no-confidence motion against the prime minister.
Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has dared his critics to remove the party from the government. Speaking at the Umno general assembly in Kuala Lumpur, Zahid challenged anyone who deemed it necessary to kick both Umno and Barisan Nasional out of the administration. He urged critics to table a no-confidence motion against the prime minister in the Dewan Rakyat. "Do you dare? If so, do it quickly," he said. "I dare you to dissolve Parliament as soon as possible."
Zahid clarified that Umno and Barisan Nasional agreed to form the unity government with Pakatan Harapan, as advised by the king, following the 2022 general election which resulted in a hung Parliament. He emphasized that their decision to work together does not mean surrendering their principles.
