JASIN — Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has firmly rejected claims that he is working to destabilise the administration, stating he has accumulated evidence regarding rural projects that were discontinued.
Addressing the controversy during remarks made in Jasin, Zahid emphasised his commitment to supporting the government and denied any involvement in efforts to weaken its position.
The Deputy Prime Minister's statements come amid ongoing scrutiny of certain development programmes in rural areas. Zahid indicated that the documentation he holds relates to initiatives that were halted, suggesting these records may be relevant to broader discussions about government project management.
The denial represents Zahid's latest response to mounting political tensions within Malaysia's leadership circles. His assertion of possessing documentary evidence appears aimed at reinforcing his position and countering suggestions of disloyalty to the current administration.
