Puad: Pak Lah was popular in Umno despite being foreign minister

Umno supreme council member Mohd Puad Zarkashi has denied Bersatu’s claim that the decision to place Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan in the Foreign Ministry was aimed at weakening the Umno leader.

On the other hand, Puad said that it was Bersatu who wanted to weaken and kill Umno when it led the Perikatan Nasional government.
