Azmin is potential PM says Zaid
Former Law Minister says a fresh face like Azmin would be good for the country
(FMT) – Selangor MB Azmin Ali is among several fit to be the next prime minister of Malaysia, according to former Law Minister Zaid Ibrahim.
He said, a fresh face like Azmin would be good for the country, adding that the PKR deputy president was a talented politician.
“There are a lot of people who can be the next PM like (former opposition leader) Anwar Ibrahim, (former PM) Dr Mahathir Mohamad and even a new face like Azmin Ali. He’s a good leader. Or we can even find someone from Amanah.
“There is a lot of talent in all political parties. Umno has (sacked deputy prime minister) Muhyiddin Yassin and (Gua Musang MP) Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, but Tengku seems quiet now.
“This is not for me to decide. I’m just saying that there are a lot of candidates,” he said in an interview today.
According to Zaid, the most important factor in choosing the next PM is that he should not be a member of the team of Prime Minister Najib Razak and his deputy Zahid Hamidi.
