Zahid's speech was mainly about his role in securing amendments to the Prevention of Crime Act 1959, or what his described as "my law", that was peppered with jokes about Malay gangsters and some off-colour comments that are bound to annoy the Indian and Chinese Malaysian communities.
About 11 minutes in, Zahid appeared to be aware that there were journalists in the room and instructed them not to report him accusing BN leaders of trying to free detainees, who were alleged gangsters, in the past.
"Sorry. If there are reporters, don't write this," he said.
However, towards the end of the event, Zahid appeared to have a change of heart and warned journalists, in a loud and angry tone, not to write about the event or their newspapers would be closed down. The transcript of this portion of his speech follows:
"They (journalists), don't write. This is closed door session, please. Don't write anything. Don't take any photograph of me and the crowd. I do not allow it. This is a closed-door session.
"I don't want; as informed by the CM (chief minister), this is a closed-door meeting; this is only for Umno delegates. If any news about what I say appears in the newspapers, be it in Malay, English or Chinese or Tamil, I will shut down that newspaper.
"Do not write, I say do not publish, do not put on Facebook, do not anything... [inaudible]."
The remarks were followed by loud cheers and shouts of "Keluar!" (get out) from those present.
