Simpang Empat: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has called on leaders to put aside political differences and prioritise serving the people. He emphasised that the trust and mandate given by the people must be honoured, regardless of political party, religion, or race. ‘As politicians, we must not allow divisions among citizens. Whether we win by a large margin or a small one is secondary. What truly matters is that, once elected as members of Parliament or assemblymen, we must fulfil our duty to serve,’ he said when opening the RC Hall in Simpang Empat, Hutan Melintang here today.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the hall was built by a businessman from Bagan Datuk, M. Nagaraja, 69, who has been running a cendol business for the past 47 years. Ahmad Zahid, who is Bagan Datuk MP, added that leaders must continue to reach out to the people in their constituencies, including the youth, whether they are working locally or abroad.
