KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] BN chairperson Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has dismissed claims of “outside interference” in the appointment of the Negeri Sembilan menteri besar as the “senility” of someone who does not understand political realities.In an apparent swipe at Parti Wawasan Negara chairperson Rais Yatim, who questioned Juasseh assemblyperson Ismail Lasim’s appointment as the state’s new menteri besar, Zahid said he would not entertain such allegations.“I do not want to entertain the senility of someone who does not understand the political reality that names must be submitted to the palace," he said.Meanwhile, in a separate story, former religious affairs minister Mujahid Yusof Rawa has hit back at Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh’s question over who allegedly “looted” Tabung Haji, saying the royal commission of inquiry report had already identified cases warranting action."The RCI also mentioned and urged, among its recommendations, that action be taken against whom? Against the cases that had been reported within Tabung Haji. That is the looting, because there was no oversight," he said.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
