Zahid retracts words on DAP’s ‘Teams”

UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has retracted his statement on the existence of ‘Team A’ and ‘Team B’ in DAP.

He said, what he actually meant was to explain how some DAP leaders made negative remarks on issues raised by its Youth recently.

“It’s just a description. If it hurts DAP, I retract it,” he said today.

DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook had earlier denie the existence of factions within the party, following allegations that one faction was behind statements targeting incarcerated former prime minister Najib Razak.

This follows Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s remarks yesterday that he was informed of a “Team B” which went on the offensive against Najib and Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh.

“There is no Team A, Team B or Team C within DAP. There is only one – Team DAP,” Loke said at the Selangor DAP convention here today.
