Zahid talks about three lions in Kota Belud

Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today hinted at a change in the BN representative for the Kota Belud parliamentary constituency.

“We will see a change in the political landscape here because we have three lions in Kota Belud. One of them will be a lion elsewhere and that lion will bring about a lot of changes.

“Since there are only two lions left, one will continue to be with Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, while the other will continue to be in the Dewan Rakyat,” he said at a gathering with Kota Belud residents in Kampung Kesapang.

Also present were Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman, Dewan Rakyat speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Abdul Rahman Dahlan, who is also Kota Belud member of parliament, Communications and Multimedia Minister Salleh Said Keruak, and Deputy Higher Education Minister Mary Yap Kain Ching.

According to Ahmad Zahid, the lion that would leave Kota Belud (and contest in another area) had brought so much development to the area since becoming the elected representative in the constituency for two terms.

“I have seen the performance of the lion who will be leaving us. For two terms as member of parliament, he has brought in allocations of not less than RM987 million,” he said.

Ahmad Zahid also announced an allocation of RM3 million for drainage projects to solve flood issues, RM5 million for deepening of the Kadamaian River in Kampung Tambotuon and for the construction of a new district mosque in Kota Belud.
