00:00Former UMNO Supreme Council member Puad Zakarshi has called for proof of claims
00:05that civil servants were warned over their attendance at government events during a state election.
00:11Puad, who quit UMNO in July, was responding to Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's claim
00:17that some civil servants had been called up for questioning over the matter.
00:22In a Facebook post, Puad described Zahid's remarks as confrontational
00:27and questioned whether there was any need for him to raise the issue.
00:32Puad challenged Zahid to identify which officers had been issued warnings if the claims were true.
00:38Without proof, Puad claimed Zahid was only stalking tension within the unity government.
00:44Zahid had earlier defended civil servants who attended ministry programs in states holding elections,
00:50saying there was nothing wrong with their presence and that they should not be punished.
