Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has refuted claims that he aimed to undermine the Madani Government by exposing the cancellation or delay of rural development projects in Sabah and Sarawak. As the Minister of Rural and Regional Development, Zahid insisted that his comments about the suspension or termination of Letters of Acceptance (SSTs) for the projects were truthful.
He stressed his readiness to present official documents in support of his assertions. "I had no intention to sabotage the government. The truth is that there were directives to cancel all SSTs that have been or are scheduled to be issued," Zahid told reporters following a visit to the Mara Higher Education and TVET Tour 2026 programme in Melaka.
Earlier, Jelutong MP RSN Rayer interjected during a debate in the Dewan Rakyat, challenging Zahid's statement about the cancellation of rural development projects in Sabah and Sarawak. Rayer termed Zahid's remarks as an attempt to sabotage the Madani Government.
