Zaid unfazed by ‘alcohol’ exposé
By Rahmah Ghazali, Free Malaysia Today
KERLING: The Barisan Nasional has launched personal attacks on PKR candidate Zaid Ibrahim but his friends in the Cabinet need not fear retaliation.
“I won’t name those leaders in Umno who had done the same… (drinking alcohol). I’m not like Umno. I’m a human (being), so I think it is better for me (not to retaliate). I know that some of my friends there were womanisers, went to casino and other stuff that other rich people would do.
“But I won’t name any of them because I have more pedigree than them and my friends in the Cabinet won’t have to worry about that,” he told reporters after meeting constituents here.
Although the attacks seemed to have gone overboard, Zaid said he is not “worried or scared”.
“Let’s just wait for more exposé … of what I had done in the past. I don’t remember what I did as I am already old. So let’s just wait. I have nothing to fear.
“In my life, I never regretted what I did but if I did wrong, then I admit my mistake,” he said.
Zaid also dared his accusers to divulge more of his blemished past so he would be “free of baggage” come polling day.
