BAGAN DATUK: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob says there are no issues between him and Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
“Both Ahmad Zahid and I are united, but the Opposition wishes to see us apart and divide us, so that it will benefit them.
“We have been friends for a very long time, I have known him since our school days” he said in his speech at the Barisan Nasional Solidarity, Stability and Prosperity programme at the Bagan Datuk Umno Complex here Monday (Oct 17).

Ahmad Zahid was also present at the event and Ismail Sabri said nothing could break them apart.
“We must be united to ensure a huge victory in the 15th General Election (GE15), and we need to stop the slanderous remarks, and the bad intentions of the Opposition, otherwise we will loose out,” he said.

Ahmad Zahid, in his speech, said that he had known Ismail Sabri since 1973.
“During my first year in Universiti Malaya, my roommate was Ismail Sabri’s brother (Kamarazaman Yaakob) and he (Ismail Sabri) was studying in a technical school at the time. Every weekend, he used to come to my room.
“What have I not done with him... I have hugged him, kissed his cheeks, the only thing I have not done is kiss his lips, that is “geli”, he said in jest.

Ahmad Zahid said the Opposition has been harping on the fact that GE15 should not be called now due to the monsoon season.
He also said he would like to remind them that the Melaka state elections were held in November as well.
“When in Malaysia is not raining. Taiping is the wettest town in the country, it rains daily, so that means elections should not be held there forever?" he asked.
