Give Zuraida's position to Umno, Puad tells PM

Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob should not give in to Bersatu's lobbying efforts to replace Zuraida Kamaruddin as plantation industries and commodities minister, said Umno supreme council member Mohd Puad Zarkashi.

In a statement, Puad said when Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin was prime minister, he ignored the Umno hierarchy in cabinet appointments by appointing ordinary members as cabinet ministers.
