Zaid's Exposure Not Surprising - Ismail Sabri
BERA, Oct 13 (Bernama) -- The exposure by Datuk Zaid Ibrahim that DAP Parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang aspires to be the prime minister if the opposition wins in the coming general election should open the eyes of Malaysians particularly the Malays and Bumiputeras.
UMNO Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said although the opposition leader had frequently denied the aspiration, the statement made by Zaid clearly showed that Lim deliberately played the 'drama' merely to gain the support of the Malays.
"Zaid's exposure clearly showed the real agenda of the leader...it is not something that is surprising because if I had said it previously when officiating at the divisional UMNO meetings, many would consider it as merely a theory.
"But today, it is explained and confirmed personally by Zaid that it was their real agenda to topple the government in order to become the leader in this country,"he said.
He disclosed this after attending a closed-door meeting with Branch Leaders of the Bera UMNO Division, here today.
Fifty-five branch heads attended the meeting which lasted approximately one hour.
