This is what you call a "Bankrupt and Desperate" politician

I was catching up with all the news for the past few weeks since the afternoon, and it shocked me when i read this piece of news.

Zaid Ibrahim actually lodged a police report against Karpal Singh. and for what reason? He alleged that Karpal Singh had "threatened" him. That Karpal had made a statement which contains serious threats to his safety.

Malaysian Insider never really wrote what Karpal said previously, so i did some checking in other news portal and found out that Karpal had issued a statement saying this:

“As Anwar's defence counsel, I am warning all quarters, including politicians, not to defy Justice Mohamed Zabidin's (Mohd Diah) reminder that anyone committing an act of contempt in the ongoing trial will face the music. Any act by anyone, however, subtle, to influence the decision of a judge in an ongoing trial amounts to contempt of court."

now, how is this a threat to his personal safety again?

I can perhaps, force myself a little to understand if a laymen who went to the streets protesting against the Court's ruling interprets Karpal's statement as a physical or personal threat. but Zaid Ibrahim? the lawyer who founded one of the largest law firm in Malaysia? you got to be kidding me!

first and foremost, how on Earth did Karpal's statement amounts to a threat to his safety?

was it directed to him? or did Karpal merely issued a general warning to all who tried to pressure Anwar into giving his DNA? even if Karpal was indirectly warning Zaid about it, how did a valid legal threat (if ever Karpal or the Court decide to charge him for contempt of court) to which Zaid will have the opportunity to defend himself, become a threat to his personal safety?

secondly, what offence will the police pursue to investigate Karpal anyway? even if the police were to forcefully open an investigation and charge Karpal in court for the so called "threat to his personal safety" will they be able to establish a prima facie case in the first place?

surely Zaid, as a former practising lawyer himself would consider all this before lodging a police report?

but no, like an illiterate or an uneducated person he went on to stretch his imagination so wide and desperately so as to gain back his political relevance, did the unthinkable by bringing his supporters to the police station and lodged a formal complain against Karpal. i really do not know whether the intention was to get into the headlines, or score against Karpal. but one things for sure. it is certainly foolish to do so. with more statements and illogical actions such as these, I simply think that he is branding himself as an irrelevant politician.

and this is what you call a bankrupt and desperate politician. its petty and sad really, he could have become a real powerhouse in the political arena. he had so much of respect from the people including myself. but by his own actions Zaid has truly threw all those respects that people had about him away

this picture depicts how truly principled, the public perceived Zaid as previously.

i kinda regret purchasing his autobiography a couple of years ago. i really admired him last time. but like many others i'm really really disappointed with him. i feel like i was fooled into believing that he's one of the rare principled politician around here. obviously i was wrong. and proved wrong by none other than Zaid Ibrahim himself.
