Ahmad Zahid, who is also Umno president, said the other two Articles relate to Malay Rulers and the Malay language, adding that the guarantee was provided by DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook during a meeting between Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan before the forming of the unity government.
