Known for being passionate over the Rohingya plight, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today led an impromptu donation drive for the persecuted Myanmar minority.

Speaking at the Merdeka Rides 2017 closing ceremony in Putrajaya, as he wound up, Zahid took off his cap and urged those present - mostly of members from the Superbikers Association of Malaysia – to make a donation.

"Let us stand up to give our support for the Rohingya. Let's take off our caps and give as much donations as possible."
