00:03 UMNO President Ahmad Zayed Hamidi throwing his weight

00:06 behind former Prime Minister Najib Razak's request

00:09 for house arrest is well-timed and strategic,

00:12 says analyst Awang Asman Pauwi.

00:15 He said Zayed's affidavit could be a tactical maneuver

00:18 to counter claims within UMNO that he has not supported Najib

00:22 adequately and is set to unite UMNO's factions, which

00:26 have not been convinced about Zayed's loyalty

00:28 to his former leader.

00:30 Awang Asman said Zayed demonstrating

00:33 his unwavering support for Najib

00:35 could potentially solidify his position within the party.

00:39 He added that the Madani government must now

00:41 take measures to ensure all interests are taken care of

00:45 and ensure justice is meted out fairly.

00:48 He said Zayed's affidavit was unlikely to affect the unity

00:51 government, but proper channels should

00:53 be used to ensure that the matter was not misinterpreted.

00:58 Previously, Najib filed an application

01:00 in the high court compelling the government

01:02 to produce an alleged supplementary order issued

01:05 by former King Al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah

01:08 during a federal territories pardons board

01:11 meeting on January 29.

01:13 Zayed said he had seen this order on Senator

01:15 Ibn Khuzaf al-Aziz's phone during a meeting.
