Azmin: Najib makes a better opposition leader than Zahid

Economic Affairs Minister Azmin Ali has jokingly claimed that former prime minister Najib Razak will make a better opposition leader compared to Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

"I think Pekan (Najib) is more qualified to be the opposition leader," he told the Dewan Rakyat during the question-and-answer session.

Azmin made the remark after Zahid allowed embattled Pekan MP Najib to ask an additional question on his behalf, which is rare in the Dewan Rakyat.

The House allows the parliamentarian who asked the question to pose an additional question, followed by lawmakers from the other divide.

Earlier, the Dewan Rakyat had announced Zahid as the opposition leader.
