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 fired a challenge to his political critics, urging them to oust Umno and Barisan Nasional from the government. In a veiled remark directed at Pakatan Harapan, Zahid demanded that they table a no-confidence motion against the prime minister in the Dewan Rakyat. Addressing his closing remarks at the Umno general assembly, Zahid threatened, "Do you dare? If so, do it quickly. I dare you to dissolve Parliament as soon as possible."
The Umno leader clarified that the unity government formed with Pakatan Harapan in 2022, following a hung Parliament, was a decision made in the king's advice. Despite their agreement to work together, Zahid emphasized that it does not imply yielding any control.
