Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has expressed satisfaction with the performance of BN ministers and deputy ministers within the coalition government.

Zahid, who is also BN chairperson, said while some may perceive BN’s presence in the government as merely complementary, all seven ministers and several deputy ministers from the coalition remain dedicated to fulfilling their duties to the nation.

He said the strength of BN lies in the strong bond among leaders of its component parties, with everyone backing the coalition’s struggles.

“This is what we aim for. Even though some BN representatives currently hold positions as deputy ministers after having served as ministers in the past, they are still committed and continue to work hard,” he said in his speech at the Federal Territories BN Convention 2024 at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur today.

Therefore, Zahid hoped all BN members would maintain a forward-looking approach and reinforce the coalition, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.

“Performance has been good, and the leadership of the component parties is very united at present. I urge everyone to stop raising internal issues, let go of trivial matters and focus on solidarity.

“We must dominate in the next election, so stay united. If there are internal problems within Umno, MCA, MIC, PBRS or even Friends of BN, resolve them internally. Avoid airing disputes in public,” he said.
