PASIR SALAK: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has called for a clear distinction between legal and political issues to safeguard the stability of the Unity Government.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also UMNO president, emphasised that legal violations must be addressed through the justice system, while political disputes should be resolved within party frameworks.
“We do not want any incident to force a political decision to be made, as this could shake the unity among the 18 parties in the MADANI Government. In my view, we must separate legal matters from political matters,” he told reporters.
He made these remarks after officiating the ‘Program Santunan Desa’ organised by the Community Development Department (KEMAS) in Perak.
The event was held in collaboration with Village Development and Security Committees (JPKK) and KEMAS communities.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman, urged all parties to respect internal decisions to maintain cohesion among coalition members.
“Do not sensationalise an issue or try to become the most popular figure, only to end up damaging good relations between party leaders and at the grassroots level,” he added. - Bernama
