Deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said that while the unity government’s component parties had differences in direction at the state level, it did not mean BN did not support Anwar Ibrahim as prime minister.MELAKA TENGAH: Deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has reiterated his support for Anwar Ibrahim as prime minister, emphasising that there is no reason for ministers from Barisan Nasional (BN) to leave the Cabinet.

The BN chairman said DAP ministers, however, should follow the example of party secretary-general Loke Siew Fook and resign from the Cabinet.

Zahid said that if DAP chairman and digital minister Gobind Singh Deo felt resignation was necessary, DAP ministers should be the ones to resign.
