Zaid to Rafizi: Go ahead make my day
“Maybe Rafizi does have something solid, perhaps a video or even underwear?” jokes Zaid Ibrahim.
(FMT) – The ‘dirt’ that Rafizi Ramli has promised to dish out on Kajang independent contestant Zaid Ibrahim tomorrow has left the former Cabinet minister more curious than afraid of what “skeletons” Rafizi would reveal.
“I’m not worried. I have little worries, not like his boss, Anwar Ibrahim. We wait for his expose. I can’t imagine what he’s going to talk about,” Zaid told FMT today.
Yesterday, the Pandan MP and PKR strategy director said he was tired of Zaid’s attacks on Anwar’s credibility, and would in turn reveal details that would force Zaid to salvage his own reputation.
Zaid today said he would not dare to guess what the “dirt” would be, but added, with a chuckle: “maybe he does have something solid, perhaps a video or even underwear?”
The Kita party founder was apparently referring to the videos circulating on pro-BN blogs depicting a man, said to be Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, engaging in sexual acts.
Similarly, PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali had been accused of being caught in a compromising video. The white briefs seen in the video became a hot topic of discussion among netizens.
Both leaders have denied that they were in the videos.
Zaid today assured that regardless what Rafizi revealed Wednesday, he would not stoop to digging up dirt on either Anwar nor Rafizi in retaliation.
“I don’t have any dirt on other people that is not already public knowledge. What I will focus is on issues of Kajang, Selangor, national and political issues.”
But Zaid was clearly unimpressed with Rafizi’s threat, saying: “This is a party that talks about reforms, good governance, but when threatened, this is how they react.”
He also dismissed Rafizi’s reason for Anwar’s refusal to debate with him as just “an excuse”.
