Zahid Eyeing DPM Post - From Villain to King Zahid

The Umno president has brushed aside pressure to take responsibility for Umno’s losses in the general election and his supporters are now suggesting that he accepts the DPM job and Umno politicians are buying into the narrative that Zahid saved the party from languishing on the opposition bench..

THIS may sound incredible, but a campaign of sorts has started in Umno to push Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for the deputy prime minister (DPM) post.

Despite his corruption case, Ahmad Zahid has emerged as a strong contender for the job, alongside Umno No. 2 Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.

The Umno president has brushed aside pressure to take responsibility for Umno’s losses in the general election and his supporters are now suggesting that he accepts the DPM job which he held from 2015 to 2018.


Strange things are happening every day in Malaysia’s politics and Ahmad Zahid’s bid for the DPM post has to be one of the strangest.

But rumours that he has actually submitted his name for the job are untrue.

His support is most obvious in his home state of Perak where the majority of division heads have credited him for enabling Umno to form the Umno-Pakatan Harapan government.

Only Pasir Salak, Bruas and Padang Rengas did not join in the chorus of support.

“It’s like living in the twilight zone. Just two weeks ago we were fighting Pakatan, now we are in government with them,” said Pasir Salak vice-chief Dr Faizal Tajuddin.

Wangsa Maju division chief Datuk Seri Shafei Abdullah claimed that Ahmad Zahid has the majority support of division chiefs all over the country.


A hastily-convened solidarity gathering at the Riverside Cafe in the WTC complex on Thursday (Nov 24) drew almost 100 division chiefs who did not hold back in their support for Ahmad Zahid.

As Ahmad Zahid, who turned up towards the end of the gathering, was making his speech, those on the floor began calling out for him to accept the DPM post.

“The feeling is that the party president must accept the post,” said Shafei.

The shock of having to team up with the enemy has subsided and Umno politicians are buying into the narrative that Ahmad Zahid saved the party from languishing on the opposition bench.

They also argue that the unity government will not be stable unless the Bagan Datuk MP gets a post.

The Umno rank-and-file dislikes DAP but their distrust of Perikatan Nasional is greater.


They see DAP as the lesser evil compared to Perikatan which they claimed “wants to kill us off” and is more deceitful or “kuat tipu”.

Politicians are such experts at justifying the means to an end.

The other DPM post is likely to go to Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof of Gabungan Parti Sarawak who was a senior minister in the previous government.

But what will it look like to have one of the DPMs trooping in and out of court?

Will it make Malaysia a laughing stock? Surely it will damage Pakatan’s anti-corruption reputation?

“Why blame us? Pakatan set the precedent when they appointed Lim Guan Eng as finance minister in 2018,” said Umno supreme council member Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Chik.

He pointed out that neither the Bar Council nor Bersih, vocal advocates against corruption, had objected to Lim’s appointment.

Lim’s corruption case involving his bungalow was then in progress and was cleared by then attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas soon after.

Another precedent is Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin who is Sabah Deputy Chief Minister despite his corruption case.

The more important question is how Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim sees the situation. It could set back his administration even before it can take off.

But the thing is that Anwar would not be Prime Minister without Ahmad Zahid’s clout in bringing Umno on board.

The video of the two men greeting each other with a hug when Anwar was sworn in at the Palace showed how chummy and comfortable they were with each other.

It was a moment between “cikgu Anwar” and his “murid Ahmad Zahid” – the master and his student.

Some say Anwar is too shrewd to appoint someone this controversial as his deputy. At the same time, he needs Ahmad Zahid to control Umno or else his government will be on shaky ground.

He could hatch all sorts of mischief like what he did to Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

Anwar also appreciates how Ahmad Zahid led his coalition towards Pakatan after quelling internal attempts to stay neutral and to support Perikatan.

It is quite incredible that Ahmad Zahid may actually clip his deputy Mat Hasan in this final moment to the finishing line.

“It’s up to the discretion of the Prime Minister. Anwar will want to look at the bigger picture if he wants a stable government,” said Umno supreme council member Datuk Seri Sharkar Shamsudin

ada satu meeting umno dulu masa najib belum masuk penjara, ada rumor timbul yg katanya umno nak bekerjasama dgn anwar tapi kemudian najib mcm acuh tak acuh je jawab reporter katanya yg tu cuma cadangan je ada org usulkan masa meeting tu

pehtu dalam tred mana ntah dulu acik greentea cakap anwar dgn zahid adalah kawan baik tapi masa tu aku caye tak caye je lagi... kemudian aku ada tepek link artikel throwback masa zaman reformasi dan isa dulu2 pasal anwar dgn zahid tapi kemudian acik poremer penyokong kuat anwar samada sam ka atau alessandra ka masa tu cakap yg anwar dan zahid bukan kawan baik

tapi semenjak tiga menjak ni, kejadian2 yg berlaku sebelum dan selepas pru15 mnyebabkan aku rasa mmg ya anwar dan zahid tu mmg kawan baik

so, walaupun kita tau mmg banyak retorik masa kempen2 politik, tapi dgn semua yg jadi sekarang ni menunjukkan seolah2 skala retorik politik yg 'menipu' rakyat adalah lebih besar daripada jangkaan sejak dari  zaman mahathir vs anwar, najib/bn vs anwar/ph, ph vs najib, dan seterus2nya sampai sekarang

maknanya mmg betul la anwar-najib-zahid ni mmg kawan baik sejak dari zaman sama2 dlm umno dulu dan masih kekal kawan baik sampai sekarang... ke camne?

satu lagi, adakah gomen baru ni akan teruskan amalan rundingan terus projek2 gomen sama mcm yg dibuat masa zaman bn, ph, dan under muhyiddin dan ismail sabri?

Dorang mmg baik dari dulu. Najib ngan Zahid dulu bawah Team Wawasan Anwar dlm UMNO. Masa Anwar jatuh, Zahid pun kena humban masuk ISA sekali walaupun dia Ketua Pemuda UMNO. Najib pula masa tu hampir kalah di Pekan. Masa Anwar sakit, mereka berdua juga datang lawat. Even Kak Mah dan Wan Azizah pun rapat dari zaman Bakat. Tu yg Kak Mah ckp dia kenal Izzah dari zaman dia x de gigi lagi dan kecik ati bila Izzah panggil dia Rosmah je
Pada September 1998, Zahid yang ketika itu merupakan Ketua Pemuda Umno ditahan di bawah ISA bersama empat pemimpin Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia (ABIM).

Beliau ditahan mengikut Seksyen 73 (1) (a) ISA kerana didakwa mendatangkan kemudaratan kepada keselamatan negara.

Penahanan Zahid itu dibuat sehari selepas penahanan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dan Ketua Pemuda Umno Negeri Sembilan, Ruslan Kassim di bawah akta yang sama.

Tp bangnon penah kena masuk jail masa zaman najib. Yg kes ngn si sepol tu laa.
Kuar awal sbb dapat pengampunan diraja.
Masa tu nampak mcm najib bebetul nak masukkan balik bangnon ke dlm.
Tak tau plak depa baik selama nih.
Tun yg bebetul tak suka dia pun bleh kuarkan dia balik sebaik saja PH menang aritu.
