Zahrain should stop dabbling with petty gutter politics
I am both faraway as well as disturbed by what we review upon Malaysiakini. Indeed, we find a similar story upon two alternative online news portals. we am referring to what my former PKR co-worker Zahrain Hashim said about Zaid Ibrahim's links with a 'fugitive' domestic blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin (to me, he's a victim of domestic persecution since of his outspoken views).
What Zahrain said as well as is perplexing to insinuate both bemuses as well as disturbs me; hence, this minute to Malaysiakini.
Firstly, we find it utterly mocking which someone of Zahrain's station he is after all a part of of parliament could contend such a silly thing. What is he unequivocally perplexing to say? That PKR or Zaid Ibrahim is funding a fugitive? That somehow a little antithesis people have been aiding as well as aiding RPK?
Zaid has openly admitted which he is a friend of RPK. So is Anwar Ibrahim as well as indeed, so am I. Is it a crime to be friends with someone who is being persecuted by an undemocratic as well as repressive government?
Secondly, what Zahrain is saying becomes even some-more mocking when he is during large well known to be gallivanting with Umno people, not to mention concomitant Prime Minister Najib Razak upon international trips.
Mind you, greatfully recall which RPK is being hunted down like a refugee precisely since he has revealed links between a attempted attempted murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu as well as a PM (and additionally his wife). So, Zahrain prefers to massage shoulders with a male who is sinister with attempted attempted murder rsther than than a male who blew a whistle?
Thirdly, we contingency confess which Zahrain done a unequivocally great suggestion, i.e. for a MACC to examine who is funding a in isolation questioner P Balasubramaniam. we determine which a MACC unequivocally should examine who supports Bala as well as how he can afford to fly to as well as stay in London. Coincidentally, we review a state! ment by Bala's lawyer, Americk Sidhu, who had this to say:
I have instructions from my client to contend which he entirely supports a idea done by Zahrain for a simple reason a income he is regulating to compensate for his outing to London as well as his hotel place to live there is subsequent from a supports he has perceived from Deepak Jaikishan during a behest of Rosmah Mansor, who ultimately as well as unwittingly is his sponsor.
Yes, MACC, greatfully do take up Zahrain's idea as well as examine Deepak Jaikishan as well as tell us if there is any truth to a above.
However, regarding a idea to examine RPK's funder, we contingency contend Zahrain done a boo-boo nonetheless again. If we am not mistaken, a courts have thrown out a cases opposite RPK as well as during this moment there is no tangible efforts by a supervision to bring RPK behind to Malaysia to face any legal action.
Thus, particularly speaking, he is conjunction a refugee nor a criminal. On a contrary, he is a domestic critic as well as a amicable activist who is in self-imposed exile. Is it a crime to minister a little income to a courageous male who dares to speak up so which his fellow Malaysians know what is starting upon in a own country?
For reasons stated above, we am bemused. Now, why am we disturbed?
First, we see something unequivocally wrong with this picture, generally when a supposed eccentric lawmaker is dabbling into sparse passageway for liquid politics. Zahrain claims which he left PKR since he has mislaid faith in a party as well as wants to offer a people better. Well, how does 'exposing' Zaid or PKR offer a people here? Does a people of Bayan Baru, or Malaysia for which matter, benefit from this supposed expos?
Second, Zahrain is conjunction a personality of any domestic party nor supposed to be aligned to any domestic coalition. As an eccentric as well as upright politician, should he not be interested to listen to RPK's side of a story? Why afterwards is he kicking up! a fuss when certain PKR leaders have been in touch with RPK?
Last but not least, we would like to remind Zahrain as well as my alternative former colleagues out there, if their reasons for leaving PKR were sincere, afterwards do your jobs as legislators as well as stop mucking around with sparse politics. The people wish to see a politicians getting upon with a job of governing, creating great policies, introducing better laws as well as so onward not some-more politicking, horse-trading as well as sabre-rattling.
