"If I inform them earlier, then they will prepare themselves. That’s why I didn’t tell them."
"This is an effort to get closer to them, and to create a spirit of teamwork. I also feel that there is a need to go down to the ground because we build this state together, as a team," Zambry said to Perak Today.
