Ahmad Zahid: I hope Nizar will repent

KUALA KANGSAR: Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pix) wants former Perak mentri besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin to repent for using the name of "Allah" in making various allegations against the Barisan Nasional (BN) government.
Ahmad Zahid, who is deputy prime minister, said Mohammad Nizar should change and reflect upon himself.
"I'm not surprised by the words from his mouth as he apparently has not changed and has not repented over what he has gone through before," he said.
He said this when asked to comment on Mohammad Nizar's statement cited on social media that said, "God wants the people of Kuala Kangsar to 'teach' (to defeat) BN through the Kuala Kangsar by-election".
"I hope that his repentance receives Allah's mercy," said Ahmad Zahid referring to the statement by the deputy chairman of Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) Perak, Mohammad Nizar, who made the statement during a ceramah in Kampung Sayong Lembah here, on Monday. — Bernama
