PETALING JAYA: Umno president and deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has showered praise on the party’s partners in the unity government, saying their leaders have been supportive of Umno’s initiatives, including in terms of its Bumiputera agenda.
Critics who used the label “UmDAP” to mock Umno’s relationship with DAP were outsiders jealous of Umno being in the government “when in fact they had previously been ‘married’ to DAP four times”, he said in a jab at PAS who had previously been allied with DAP.
Zahid singled out DAP leaders Gobind Singh Deo and Loke Siew Fook, Amanah president Mohamad Sabu, and GRS president Hajiji Noor for their support.
