INTERVIEW | Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh has gotten accustomed to shifting political allegiances in the 16 years since she was first elected to office but admitted that it was “very painful” to hear harsh words from former allies.

She said this when asked how it felt when former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad questioned the loyalty of non-Malays and Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman labelled DAP a “lapdog” to Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
