00:00UMNO President Ahmad Zahid Hamdi confirmed that opposition leader Hamza Zainuddin was
00:06among the politicians he met in Bangkok to discuss the issue of Malay and Muslim unity.
00:11Speaking to the media at Munarrafelda in Kuala Lumpur today, the Barisa National chairman
00:16said the meeting with Hamza took place last year, adding that there hasn't been any
00:20recent meetings with Hamza.
00:22Citing sources from several parties, Berita Hariam reported that past Vice President Ahmad
00:27Samsuri Mokdar and PN Deputy Secretary General Taqiyuddin Hassan also met Zahid at the time
00:33to discuss proposals to unite Malay and Islamic political parties.
00:38Samsuri is currently the PN chairman.
00:40The sources said the meeting was held in early December when the Deputy Prime Minister was
00:44in Thailand for a series of working visits.
00:48Versace President Muhyiddin Yassin had accused Hamza of engaging in secret negotiations with
00:52Zahid to form a new political configuration that would allow him to be appointed Deputy
00:57Prime Minister while another leader held the top post.
01:01Muhyiddin also accused Hamza of being behind moves to destabilize and divide Bersatu, saying
01:06this was the main reason why the LARUT MP was sacked from the party on February 13th.
01:11Yesterday, Hamza hit back at Muhyiddin over claims he betrayed the party by meeting with
01:15Zahid, saying he was free to meet anyone as the opposition leader.
