GE14 | Umno supreme council leader Mohd Puad Zarkashi lashing out at not being re-fielded as BN's Batu Pahat candidate has seen him becoming increasingly cornered, with even Umno vice president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi criticising him.

However, Puad has also become more defiant in his public statements, in which he has dropped hints about having dirt on various BN candidates.

On Tuesday, after rebutting Zahid's criticism that Batu Pahat needed a new face as BN was growing weak in the parliamentary constituency, Puad claimed a certain candidate had "personal moral issues".
