BEST political statement 2019 (3)

Malaysia - 'Azmin preferred Pakatan Rakyat to Harapan, didn't back Dr M at first' (selected extracts):

Rais Hassan
Pribumi Supreme Council member & Party strategist 

Seemingly peeved at Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman's strong defence of the beleaguered Mohamed Azmin Ali, Rais Hussin has taken a swipe at the latter's contributions to Pakatan Harapan.

Rais, who sits on Bersatu's supreme council, took exception to some of the claims made in his party colleague's opinion piece entitled 'Azmin Ali, the politician I know.'

"This is a new narrative." he tweeted over the weekend. [...]

[kt note: Rais Hassan was virtually saying Syed Saddiq BS-ed in the latter's glowing praise of Azmin Ali, wakakaka]

Rais said ....., however, that the "truth must be told as it is. Please."

He also retweeted former minister Zaid Ibrahim, who said that he was "tired of listening to hypocrites expressing horror about 'gutter politics'."

"Firstly there is no gutter politics, only gutter politicians. Second, is the video real or fake? That’s all I want to know," Zaid's tweet read.

Zaid Ibrahim
(used & 'discarded' by DAP) 

I deem Zaid Ibrahim's tweet (as follows below) as the BEST political statement 2019 thus far: 

"[I am] ... tired of listening to hypocrites expressing horror about 'gutter politics'." 

"Firstly there is no gutter politics, only gutter politicians. Second, is the video real or fake? That’s all I want to know."

This is the 2nd time this year Zaid has won my post-awarded title, wakakaka.
