KUALA LUMPUR, April 8 — Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin said today he sees no problem with the issues discussed in an audio recording purportedly involving Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Umno President Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi.
The Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia secretary-general said it is up to Umno if it wishes to work with PKR, and there is no issue if Anwar is really a mentor to Zahid due to their history in Umno.
“I listened to the conversation. The conversation is basically Zahid admitting that Anwar was his teacher. Is it wrong for Anwar to be Zahid’s mentor?
“Why are they getting so angry for? I’m curious myself,” he told reporters after launching the National Immigration Systems here.
“Secondly, is it wrong for Umno to work with PKR? It is up to them,” he added.
He insisted that should the recording be proven fake it is slanderous, but if true than it will negate Anwar’s claim that he commands the majority in the Parliament since there is no cooperation between PKR and Umno.
“So if both of them said ‘no, we have not discussed any cooperation between the parties’, then that means there is no cooperation between the parties.
“So why is there a need to send a letter to the Agong?” he asked.
