PASIR SALAK, Aug 17 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has advised all political leaders to distinguish between legal and political matters to preserve harmony within the Unity Government.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also UMNO president, said that legal action must be taken in cases of law violations, while political disputes should be resolved through proper political channels.
“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 here today.
He said this after officiating the ‘Program Santunan Desa’ organised by the Community Development Department (KEMAS) in Perak, in collaboration with Village Development and Security Committees (JPKK) and KEMAS communities here today.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman, further urged all quarters to respect party decisions to maintain tolerance among component parties.
“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.
