Leader of party that lost all its deposits in GE15 is 'bodoh sombong', says Zahid


KANGAR: The leader of a party where all its candidates lost their deposits during the 15th General Election (GE15) has been described as "bodoh sombong (stupid and arrogant)" by Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for not wanting to work with the parties in the unity government coalition.

Umno president said the leader was arrogant because he was not willing to work with parties in the ruling government while, at the same time, Perikatan Nasional had rejected its application to join the Opposition bloc.
