Zahid: Respect unity govt parties

Ahmad Zahid said Nur Jazlan’s statement is his personal opinion and not the official stand of Umno and Barisan.“If there is a request, it will have to be done through party meetings,” he told a press conference at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur yesterday.In a Facebook post on Aug 30, Nur Jazlan, who is Pulai Umno division chief, said the Malays were hesitant to fully support DAP due to its secular state agenda, which “contradicts Islamic and Malay principles”.

On Friday, DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke said the party need not drop its secular nation agenda and Malaysian Malaysia slogan merely to secure support from other ethnic groups.On remarks by Kimma president Datuk Seri Syed Ibrahim Kader that his party would no longer submit an application to join Barisan, Ahmad Zahid said that his hands are tied.

“We have to respect our constitution which states that this decision needs a consensus from all component parties. On a separate matter, Ahmad Zahid said Barisan is confident of becoming the dominant coalition in Malaysia’s political landscape once again, adding that he believes that this will happen by the 16th General Election .“We are facing many tests, and as such, do not give up. Only those with a strong willpower will be successful in the end,” he said.
