Perak: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has advised all political leaders to distinguish between legal and political matters to preserve harmony within the Unity Government. Ahmad Zahid, who is also UMNO president, emphasized that legal action must be taken in cases of law violations, while political disputes should be resolved through proper political channels.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Ahmad Zahid expressed concerns that any incident forcing a political decision could destabilize the unity among the 18 parties in the MADANI Government. He urged for a clear separation between legal and political matters to avoid undermining the coalition’s stability. His remarks came during a media interaction after officiating the ‘Program Santunan Desa’ organized by the Community Development Department (KEMAS) in collaboration with Village Development and Security Committees (JPKK) and KEMAS communities in Perak.

As the Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman, Ahmad Zahid also called on all parties to respect party decisions to foster tolerance among component parties. He cautioned against sensationalizing issues or attempting to gain popularity at the expense of good relations between party leaders and grassroots supporters.
