FORMER UMNO Supreme Working Council (MKT) member, Datuk Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi, stole the stage when he showed up at the Youth Open Dialogue program attended by Pakatan Harapan (PH) Chairman, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, at Felda Ulu Tebrau, last night.
Mohd Puad's arrival at the program was warmly welcomed by the Prime Minister, who shook hands before the two hugged as soon as Anwar arrived at about 9.40 pm.
Mohd Puad said his presence was to fulfil a friend's invitation and to express support for PH's candidate for the Puteri Wangsa State Legislative Assembly (DUN), Dr Maszlee Malik.
Earlier, the former Rengit State Assemblyman (ADUN) announced his support for PH candidate Mohamad Yazid Bakri, who is contesting for the Rengit State Legislative Assembly (DUN) seat through a poster uploaded on his Facebook page.
Mohd Puad announced his exit from UMNO with immediate effect on June 25.
Party Secretary-General, Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, then claimed that Mohd Puad had threatened to leave the party and publicly criticise it if his son was not nominated for the Rengit seat. – July 5, 2026
