Zahid praises Perlis govt for being diplomatic
The deputy prime minister says the federal government is committed to putting the people’s interest first, even in states with different political ideologies.
PETALING JAYA: Deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has praised the Perlis state government for maintaining cordial relations with the federal government despite differences in political ideologies.
Zahid said Putrajaya was always looking to establish good relations with all state governments as it was important to put the people’s interest first, Harian Metro reported.
“Any party should not use councils or meetings as its platform to express displeasure to the point where it becomes campaign material or an insulting speech,” he reportedly said.
“We are actually concerned that such action would harm the relationship between the state and the federal government. However, I commend Perlis for ensuring that this does not happen.”
Although he did not go into specifics, Zahid’s remarks came after Kedah menteri besar Sanusi Nor’s recent spat with the federal administration and longstanding criticism of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
Last week, Sanusi claimed that he was barred from attending events organised by the federal government, including the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (Lima) in May.
Anwar had filed a defamation suit against Sanusi in December last year over statements that the PAS leader made in a campaign speech during the general election.
The prime minister alleged that Sanusi’s remarks implied that he had abused his powers as an MP, was deceitful, a traitor, a hypocrite, and not a good Muslim.
In his defence last month, Sanusi said his remarks on Anwar were based on matters which were derived from public records going back to 1998 when he was sacked from the government.
Anwar had said the defamation suit filed against Sanusi would not affect cooperation between the Kedah and federal governments.
