Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) Youth have urged Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and National Registration Department (NRD) director-general Mohd Yazid Ramli to apologise for making erroneous claims over their leader's identity card.

The demand was made during a protest in front of Parliament by some 20 Bersatu Youth members. They said Zahid and Yazid had one week to do so but did not elaborate on what they will do if the duo did not comply.

On Sunday, Zahid attempted to discredit Bersatu chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad's Malay credentials by claiming that he had sighted the latter's identity card, which bore the name "Mahathir A/L Iskandar Kutty".
