Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has rebuffed calls for him to resign following the civil suit against him for alleged assault.
At a press conference today, he said that only the prime minister has the prerogative to appoint or terminate a minister.
“To appoint or terminate (minister) is the discretion of the PM. It is his sole right,” he said.
He also alluded that the urging by Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo is a conflict of interest as the lawyer acting as the plaintiff is the MP’s father, Karpal Singh.
“His father wants to take it to court, so take it to court,” he said.
