After having burnt his bridges in front and behind him he should join LIM & SON SDN @ DAP
Zaid had elsewhere said that::
He has given up politics to focus on his law practice
He is broke and is looking for business
He has declared is UMNO refuge
Can you now trust this man, against the background UMNO is in the habit of buying dissenting voices with million of dough. Ask RPK he will have one or two say bout this behind the scene practice
In simple language he is receiving external financial support and that I will never trust this guy. Remember, proprietorship as opposed to principles and se know which enjoys priority with the Malays .
It is time to bury the myth of the irrational voter. race and creed are the weakest strands in the knit that is forming the present surge.Malaysian democracy, like any mature polity, works best when it revolves around economic empowerment, when it functions like a welfare ladder. All of us live on some rung of that ladder, and all of us want to climb a rung, enabled by good governance. It is axiomatic that those at the bottom must rise at twice the pace of elites, but it is essential that everyone must ascend. A simple question will shape the voter’s decision: who can best assure this ascent?
A significant, if still barely recognized, by-product of UMNO decade is the collapse of voters’ trust in any patch-up, last-minute conglomeration. Accretion is no longer seen as strength, but as invitation to weakness.You can tell what is selling in the market when his law firmrise and success in that job due to UMNO, that has made him an aspiration man. He won a silver spoon in the race of life. He was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth.All of us live on some rung of that ladder, and all of us want to climb a rung, enabled by good governance. It is axiomatic that those at the bottom must rise at twice the pace of elites, but it is essential that everyone must ascend. A simple question will shape the voter’s decision: who can best assure this ascent? if the present patterns of voter intent hold.Pakatan in the meanwhile, faces double jeopardy: implosion of its base, and explosion of the viruse spread. Such bad news is already reflected on the visage ofDAP and PAS leaders. They are merely worried about PKR. They are terrified of Anwar.
Thought for the day, or perhaps the next hundred days: Where did it all go wrong for Ravana? He was the highest of the high-born, a king of kings, a blue-blood intellectual, a classical aesthete. Why did his rule sink to nadir? Ravana had too many heads. It just doesn’t work. It is a safe bet that most of his ten heads were barely on speaking terms with one another. Ravana remains the ultimate metaphor for coalition politics, the Third Front of his time, and symbol of disaster for all eternity in DAP’s sacred verse.Apparently there are people in Umno who had wanted the BN to give the Kajang by-election a miss. “I belong to the boycott Kajang by-election school of thought, questioned whether DAP was behind former minister Zaid Ibrahim's sudden entry into the Kajang by-election.Every now and then, some politician plumb new depths in bad behaviour Zaid Ibrahim with a sense of outraged frustration. Shrill prose hunts for new adjectives, while the , whose dignity has been so severely impugned, taps the offenders limply on the wrist and lets them off. For members, every new improved infraction is an invitation to raise the bar on the next one, for how can one show devotion to whatever cause the party holds dear on the day, if not by screaming louder, breaking something bigger or assaulting someone with greater sophistication? was well-thought-out or not, there is still steam left in us to talk of small, universal things. Like the humble comma.
Professor John McWhorter of Colombia University recently raised doubts over usage of the comma, saying it might have reached an expiry date and that removing it would cause “so little loss of clarity that there could even be a case made for not using commas at all”.
Acclaimed novelist and essayist Pico Iyer had in June 1988 written an ode to this almost-imperceptible mark entitled “In Praise Of The Humble Comma,” extolling it as the signature of cultures.
Former de facto Law Minister Zaid Ibrahim has announced that he will contest in the upcoming Kajang by-election in a bid to stymie PKR’s “Kajang move”.At a press conference in Kajang today, Zaid said that if he were to win, it would ensure that Abdul Khalid Ibrahim will continue to be the Selangor Menteri Besar.
Zaid said the by-election, forced by the sudden resignation of incumbent Lee Chin Cheh to make way for PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim entry to the state legislative assembly, was a “wholly inappropriate political act”.
He claimed that if Anwar becomes a state assemblyperson and tries to oust Khalid as Menteri Besar, a political crisis will break out if the latter refuses to resign voluntarily.
He added that even if Anwar wins, he might not be able to convince the Selangor Sultan or allies in PAS to accept him as the new Menteri Besar. “There is a real risk that a misuse of his political position by Anwar to take power from Khalid will tear Pakatan Rakyat apart,” said Zaid.
Responsible leadership
Zaid said Khalid and members of his government has the public mandate to rule and the trust that they have earned cannot be erased by PKR’s “political machinations”.
If Khalid and any of his team are to be removed, let it be done through the democratic process where any weaknesses or failings can be openly discussed and due process followed.
“And let it be done with the consent of His Majesty the Sultan. Such transparency is central to the responsible leadership that the people expect in the 21st century,” he said.
In view of this, and in order to respect the principles of a healthy democracy and ensure political stability, Zaid said voters in Selangor must ensure that PKR’s plans to make Anwar the new menteri besar does not work.
He said that responsible leadership meant that political leaders must be responsible to the state as a whole and not just one party.
“I hope the voters of Kajang will make wise choices in the face of the current crisis between Khalid, Anwar and Azmin Ali. I believe this can happen if I win this seat,” he said.Zaid, 63, is born in Kelantan and currently resides in Petaling Jaya. He said he has stayed in Selangor for more than 35 years.
When asked for an immediate reaction to Zaid’s announcement, Anwar offered the following curt reply: “It is a free world”
He has given up politics to focus on his law practice
He is broke and is looking for business
He has declared is UMNO refuge
