KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has dismissed claims that Umno joined the unity government to save him personally, and gave his assurance that the party has never abandoned former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
The Umno president said he was well aware of the recurring narrative that the decision was driven by self-interest, while Umno’s attempts to defend Najib had been met with scorn and ridicule.
