No need to act so high and mighty, Anwar’s aide tells Zahid

 Kamil Munim responds to the Barisan Nasional chairman's reminder that the unity government could not have been formed without the coalition’s MPs.

Kamil Munim, an aide to the prime minister, said everyone knows the unity government was formed with the collaboration of various parties and not ‘just one group’.

PETALING JAYA:

An aide to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has rebuked Ahmad Zahid Hamidi over the Barisan Nasional chairman’s reminder that the unity government could not have been formed without BN’s MPs.

Kamil Munim said there was no necessity for Zahid to make such claims and everyone knew that the unity government was formed with the collaboration of various parties and not “just one group”.

“So, there is no need to act so high and mighty. Looks like old habits die hard,” he said in a Facebook post.

Last night, Zahid, who is also the Umno president, said that without BN’s 30 parliamentary seats, Pakatan Harapan would not have had the parliamentary majority to lead the current government.

BN’s contribution to national stability could not be dismissed, the deputy prime minister said.

Kamil said that even the party with the most number of seats in PH did not act as if it was the nation’s saviour or pillar of stability.

While he did not name the party, it is believed that he was alluding to DAP, which won 40 seats.

Kamil said stability stemmed from respecting and understanding each other as well as prioritising the people and nation’s interest.

“Stability does not come from an arrogant and haughty attitude,” he said. - FMT
