Malaysia IS Zimbabwe, says Zaid

PKR politician Zaid Ibrahim has applauded constitutional law expert Abdul Aziz Bari for speaking out "about the rotten state of the rule of law and democracy" in Malaysia.

In a reply by text-message, he described Abdul Aziz as "a well respected academic and a courageous one".

Zaid, a former Umno strongman who crossed to PKR, expressed hope that many will come forward and be unafraid to speak out for the sake of the country.

"Nothing will change unless those who know rise up to expose the vermin (that are) eating and destroying our national institutions and democratic values," said Zaid (right), once the de facto law minister.

Last Sunday, Malaysiakini reported Abdul Aziz's comments that likened the current state of 'lawlessness' in Malaysia to that in Zimbabwe.

When contacted, political analyst Khoo Kay Peng echoed many of the concerns expressed by Abdul Aziz.

In particular, he said Umno should not regard governance of the country as its birth-right, but realise that it is the people who have given it the mandate to lead.

Ha ha ha.......

Malaysia is nowhere NEAR Zimbabwe for the following reasons:-

(i) They have got buildings taller than the Petronas Twin towers.

(ii) They have airports of world class standards, with ERLs and LRTs whizzing across their arid and godforsaken country at the speed of light.

(iii) The Zimbabweans have longer and stronger bridges, more excellent highways sprawling across their countryside, F1 circuits, their own national cars, fighter jets, submarines, T72s, and the world's only sodomite who aspires to lead other non-sodomite citizens as prime minister.

(iv) They have opposition parties, made up mainly of people who came to their country forced onto them and came invited in drones and masses, disrespect their kings, sneer at the original zimbabweans who had been there for thousands of years, and YET BE ALLOWED BY THE GOVERNMENT THERE to do businesses that consume up to 70% of the economy.

(v) Zimbabweans have gone to become UN space agency directors, astronauts who touched the tip of Orion's club, even a Bond girl. But no Zimbabwean ministers have ever been paid 5 times the salary of the US president.

(vi) The fact that in the recent pasts they have more changes in government and prime ministers instead of the SAME old person from the SAME old popular party shows how democratic the country is. Oh yeah sometimes opposition voices there are dealt with by assassinations, public lynchings and outright bombings but hey! what's a few life here and there compared to the general serenity experienced by the nation as a whole? Not.

(vi) Zimbabwe has anarchy, Malaysia has monarchy. Dont tell me one-person-ruler is better than many-headed-ones? Malaysia has parliament, Zimbabwe has the AK47. What. A country should be sissy or what?

How dare Zaid Ibrahim equate Malaysia with Zimbabwe. It's like equating apples and grapes.
