KUALA LUMPUR : Deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says differences with Tengku Zafrul Aziz over their respective political affiliation have not affected their cooperation in managing the country's affairs, particularly on economic and trade matters.
'That has always been my principle. We draw a clear line that political matters must be set aside when it comes to handling organisational matters, esspecially where national governance is concerned,' he told reporters after launching the Women in Export Forum 2025.
The Umno president further quipped that the only thing missing was 'a public display of affection', hinting that relations between the two remained cordial.
Tengku Zafrul, who is the investment, trade and industry minister, resigned from Umno on May 30 and announced his intention to join PKR.
