LARUT:
Home minister Hamzah Zainudin has hit back at Mohamad Hasan after the Umno deputy president told Bersatu not to “pretend to be clean”.

The Bersatu secretary-general claimed that Mohamad, also known as Tok Mat, had gone to his house in April 2019 to “ask for help”, though he refused to elaborate on this.

“If he says (Bersatu) is pretending to be clean, then I want to ask Tok Mat, did he not come to my home in April 2019 to ask for help?” Hamzah said, telling reporters to ask Mohamad for the details of the meeting.

“That’s for him to answer,” he said, adding that he was not one to “stir up nonsense”.

Yesterday, Mohamad told Bersatu not to “pretend to be clean”, accusing it of conspiring with Pakatan Harapan in the 2018 elections to deceive voters.

He said Bersatu was involved in drafting the PH manifesto that went unfulfilled, though voters had forgotten about that since the party had left the coalition and was now in Perikatan Nasional.

Meanwhile, Hamzah accused Nga Kor Ming of being shallow-minded after the Perak DAP chief sounded another warning about a Taliban type of government and said Malaysia would become like Afghanistan should PN come to power.

He also said he would not hesitate to lodge a police report against Nga if his statement sparked a racial riot.
