Umno man quits council post after branding DAP his party’s ‘main enemy’
Permatang Pauh Umno chief Zaidi Said says he takes responsibility for his remarks at party general assembly.
Penang UMNO division chief Datuk Mohd Zaidi Mohd Said has resigned from his Seberang Perai city councillor position following remarks he made at the recent UMNO general assembly in Kuala Lumpur. Zaidi apologized for his comments, which he claimed created a wrong perception of the DAP party. During the assembly, Zaidi stated that the DAP feared losing political power by promoting unity between Malays and Muslims.
He also criticized the cooperation between DAP and PKR, stating it was a political strategy that could weaken the DAP. Following a review of his speech, Zaidi realized he needed to exercise more caution when expressing views about parties forming the state government. He voluntarily decided to take full responsibility for his mistake by resigning.
H’ng Mooi Lye, a Penang executive councillor, thanked Zaidi for his apology and voluntary resignation, praising his commitment to the people's welfare, tolerance, and responsible administration.
