Hamzah Zainudin, now Bersatu deputy president, once idolized Anwar Ibrahim during his Umno ascent under Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s wing. “He was an idol to the whole country,” Hamzah shared on the Keluar Sekejap podcast, recalling Mahathir’s endorsement that swayed many. Yet, disillusionment set in, leading him to distance himself from Anwar. Politics wasn’t Hamzah’s dream—former PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, his mentor, nudged him into it. “Pak Lah called me to contest,” he said, despite his business roots. Known as a political “operator,” Hamzah rejects the tag, insisting his focus has shifted from aiding leaders to serving religion, race, and the people.
