PAS election director Sanusi Nor has suggested that Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s legal “burdens” played a factor in the Malay nationalist party’s decision to remain in the unity government.

While Sanusi (above) did not name a specific individual in his remarks, he stated that the public should not elect leaders who carry certain burdens, such as those who might backtrack on risky decisions when the matter of “47” is raised.
