You were in bed with kleptocrats, Zaid ticks off Kit Siang

PETALING JAYA: A former federal minister said Lim Kit Siang should stop labelling Umno a kleptocratic party, as the DAP supremo had been “in bed” with kleptocrats.
nothing as cheap as Vellfire lah
Zaid Ibrahim, a former Kelantan DAP chief, said Lim was probably still “in bed with them”.
“Just because these kleps were not charged and left Umno does not mean they are ‘cleaner’ than Umno,” he tweeted tonight.
While Zaid did not identify who Lim had been working with, several Umno leaders who either left or were sacked from the party went on to set up PPBM.
PPBM was part of the Pakatan Harapan government before it collapsed after Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s resignation and PPBM’s subsequent pullout from the ruling coalition earlier this year.
PPBM now leads the Perikatan Nasional government which Umno backs. In fact, several Umno MPs are in the Cabinet.
Earlier today, Lim, who is the Iskandar Puteri MP, had, in a blog post, asked if the “kleptocratic Umno leaders” were the worst enemy of the Malays and the country.
Lim had also often used the label when attacking former prime minister Najib Razak.
DAP elections coming.....time to make noise, criticize leaders, can’t allow 3Rs (Ramasamy, Ramkarpal, Ronnie) get all the attention. Now even Teng outshining him.
ReplyDeleteNote that Zaid won his only seat in 2004 under UMNO, which was then at its height of kleptocracy under Toonsie/Badawi/Jibby.
And this fler had no spine to correct UMNO’s corruption when he was Law Minister. He quit after just 6 months. Then joined PKR, didn’t get anywhere then formed KITA, didn’t get anywhere either, then folded and joined DAP, which put him in charge of DAP Kelantan in 2017 to prepare for GE14. What did he achieve? Nothing.
He gives up too easy. When he can’t have his way he quits.
Even the law firm he founded back in the 80s, he gave up the name of the legal practice long time ago; recently they kindly invited him back as Chairman, but after 4 days he gave up again and now want to sue them to get his name back.
No wonder DAP didn’t give him a seat to contest in GE14. They know he is a temperamental QUITTER.
he had thw decency to quit his ministerial post showing his conscience and his integrity. He made bad mistake in joining PKR when Ass-binte was his-her MOST devious - he was eff-ed up properly by Ass-binte. He joined DAP but was marginalised because the Lim's brook no self-thinking courageous voice like Dr Boo's. He sat out out 2018 completely, knowing he has no more future in DAP like my old Penang lang, Zul Noor.
DeleteAnd best of all, unliek a HYPOCRITE, he doesn't go around calling others 'kleptomaniac' when he has been bromancing with ONE, the KING of ALL kleptomaniacs
UMNO has been labeling DAP as anti-Malay, anti-Islam and anti-Royalty. During Zaid’s time in UMNO and right up till today. But Zaid has nothing to say about this?
DeleteZaid did not call BN/UMNO kleptocrats?

Zaid Ibrahim joins DAP
by Zaidi Azmi
PETALING JAYA – February 7, 2017: After consistently refuting rumours over his intention to join DAP, political journeyman Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has finally joined the party.
Speaking during a press conference at his home here today, the former minister in the Prime Minister’s Department said he hoped his presence in DAP would dispel allegations that the Chinese-dominated party is anti-Malay and anti-Islam.
“I know of the Malays’ disdain for DAP. They don’t even want to hear its name,” said Zaid, who was previously a member of Umno, PKR and also president of the now-defunct Kita.
“But I want to show the Malays that DAP isn’t like what Najib (Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak) is telling them.
“DAP is a party that has been fighting corruption for almost 50 years and no one can deny that it has elevated Penangites’ quality of life in its just eight years of governance,” Zaid said.
He also accused Umno of continuously using hate and racial politics in its campaign against DAP.
“I want the Malays to realise that DAP is not what Najib and Umno say it is, and I am confident that I can do a good job in convincing the Malays more than he (Najib) can.
“Unlike Najib, I can relate more with the common Malays because I am not from an aristocratic family. My father was just a farmer,” Zaid insisted.
He stressed that he does not want any post in DAP because “what’s important to me is that, I can one day tell my grandchildren that I was among those who freed the country from kleptocracy.”

Then your statement "He stressed that he does not want any post in DAP because “what’s important to me is that, I can one day tell my grandchildren that I was among those who freed the country from kleptocracy.”"
But he did NOT pinpoint any person as the kleptomaniac - it could be Mahathir, wakakaka
Come on lah - based on the etymological meaning of kleptomaniac, there is only two in bolihland - rosmanajib lah!

ReplyDeleteEg when Wee KHAT Siong receives a totally unsubstantiated WhatsApp message alleging corruption he cepat-cepat rush to Cheras polis station to make report. But when multiple sources reported 1MDB theft with substantiated evidence and cover up he Buat Tak Tahu. Till today Wee KHAT Siong does not admit 1MDB happened.

ReplyDelete...A few days ago, the Barisan Nasional secretary-general Annuar Musa warned that the ruling coalition must remain united or lose out to “pro-liberal, pro-socialist” Pakatan Harapan (PH) in the “mother of all GÉs” – the 15th General Election.
He claimed that the “pro-liberal and pro-socialist” PH administration’s attempt to regain control was fuelled by its failure to ratify treaties such as the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) and the Rome Statute.
Annuar cannot be unaware that the person who tried to ratify ICERD and the Rome Statute during the PH administration is now in the Muhyiddin Cabinet as the Minister for Communications and Multimedia, Saifuddin Abdullah.
Why is Annuar Musa continue to perpetrate a lie?
Will Saifuddin come clean to admit for instanced that the 2018 ICERD fiasco was solely his own making when he was Foreign Minister in Pakatan Harapan Government, when he first talked about “a deep state” in the Malaysian Government, when the DAP knew nothing about the proposed ICERD ratification although DAP was the target of demonization for being anti-Malay, anti-Islam and anti-Royalty over the ICERD issue?....
....Dr. Mohamed Rafick Khan recently wrote on the Tabung Haji controversy and he said:
“When Pakatan Harapan (PH) took over in 5/2018, a group of professionals was assigned to look at Tabung Haji (TH) books. It was a mess. TH was run by Malay Muslims. There was no ‘CINA DAP’ in the board or the management. There were only Malays who called themselves Muslims that squandered TH and brought it to the ground. The good guys failed to stand up to the bad guys and make public the management’s wrongdoing. Hence they are also accountable.
“It was saddled with so much accumulated debt and despite that, with creative accounting, good steady dividends were issued. Against good governance and accounting principles, TH continued to issue dividends to ensure that Malays will continue to support the government. The PH government has NO CHOICE but to rescue TH as it is a Government Guaranteed Statutory body.
“It was Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng’s effort to turn around TH. Yes, a ‘Chinaman i.e. a DAP Chinaman’ looking out for the interest of the Malay Muslims. He took all the bad business (Valued at RM9.63billion) out of the books and transfer them to a MOF SPV name Urusharta Jemaah Harta (UJH) at the end of 2018 and UJH assumed all TH debt (RM27.56 billion).
“Deputy Minister of Finance II, Mohd Shahar Abdullah (BN) said that UJH has declared for FY2019 a gross income of RM234 million (Dec 2018-Dec 2019) and a net loss of RM9.95 billion. As part of the takeover, MOF will inject a total of RM17.8 billion in TH through UJH over 10 years to ensure that TH can continue to function. (As announced in parliament.)
“This is the state of the financial health of TH and yet many Malays are so ignorant of the corruption and politicking surrounding TH and continue with the ‘not my problem attitude’. Instead of being grateful for the effort of government and the Cina DAP in helping TH, the politicking Malays attacked PH and LGE for selling all the assets and played the Malay and Islamic sentiment. How gullible and stupid are we?”
As Dr. Rafick concluded:
“The Malays should play a greater role by demanding an explanation and force TH management and board to be more accountable. The members should demand detailed annual reports and question those managers and board members of their role and integrity.
“This country is down because of the corrupt Malay political leaders who have no integrity but portray a pious image. Don’t blame the DAP or the Chinese. It is the Malay leaders who are making life harder for the population (who are significantly Malays in the B40 group). As Malays, we need to wake up to save the country and our children.”....
