Zahid should be in Cabinet, govt experience a 'plus', says Tian Chua


PETALING JAYA: Despite objections to appointing individuals with ongoing court cases to the Cabinet, Chua Tian Chang, better known as Tian Chua, argues that Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi should be an exception, as the Umno president played a pivotal role in the present government.

The former PKR vice-president credited Ahmad Zahid for being firm in ensuring Barisan Nasional’s support for Anwar’s unity government, as there were many MPs in the Umno-led coalition who were initially hesitant about cooperating with Pakatan Harapan.
