PETALING JAYA: Urging Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to resign is not the solution for Umno-Barisan Nasional's woes, says Datuk Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi.
He said the losses faced by the coalition and the party in the recently-concluded state polls is a shared burden.
"Don't point fingers.Urging (Datuk Seri Dr) Ahmad Zahid (Hamidi) to resign is not the solution. Everyone is responsible," said Puad.
"(Tan Sri) Muhyiddin (Yassin) was arrogant when he told Zahid to resign. When Perikatan Nasional (Perikatan)lost badly in Melaka and Johor he did not resign," he added.
He said in a Facebook post on Monday (Aug 14) that Muhyiddin is still the Parti Pribumi Malaysia Bersatu president.
Puad added Umno ministers must make a serious effort to ensure that the Malay and rakyat agenda is a real success, as the power is in their hands.
He added that Umno must win Malay support.
"That is why Umno must remain in the unity government. Pakatan Harapan - Barisan Nasional needs to strengthen its cooperation. Zahid fits this mission. He does not need to resign. Don't lash out," he said.
