Anti-Zaid blog up to down him

September 21, 2010
Zaid: For me to save it from people who are not making significant contributions to the reform movement, now that is quite clear since I joined.
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 21 — Datuk Zaid Ibrahim’s detractors have set up a blog, aimed at attacking the former Umno man as an “outsider” bent on destroying PKR.

The blog, called “Save PKR – do not allow outsiders destroy the party” at antizaid.wordpress.com, saw its first entry on Saturday, just as the hotly contested race kicked off with divisions nominating.

“This blog was born out of the intention to save PKR from being destroyed by a person sponsored by greedy and voracious businessmen.

“From today on, this blog will publish exposes after exposes over who this person is. To the readers and whomever who wants to share information on the evils of this person above, please email antizaid@gmail.com,” the entry read.

Four more entries have followed — two yesterday and two more today — alleging Zaid had bought votes, used an Umno daily and a mouthpiece for this campaign.

One entry, posted yesterday, appeared to harp on how Zaid still trailed behind vice-president Azmin Ali, another lead contender in the deputy presidency race, in his tally of nominations from the divisions.

It claimed that the nominations tally showed that members still “loved the party”.

“Money and corruption failed to buy over the loyalty of the members. Funds coming from these greedy and voracious businessmen still has not been able to threaten the loyalty of the PKR grassroots.

“So far, the nominations trend is on the right track. May the division members continue to do the right thing. Do not allow PKR, which was formed since 1999, be destroyed by individuals who only just joined the party in 2008.

“Think about it,” the entry said.

To date, Azmin leads with 39 nominations while Zaid only has about half his count at 19.

Trailing behind is another vice-president Mustaffa Kamil Ayub with six nominations, while the party’s chief strategist Chua Tian Chang has received two, just enough to qualify for the race. PKR elections director Fuziah Salleh and Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim have a nomination each.

The blog confirms Zaid’s recent complaints that he is a victim of unprecedented attacks aimed at destroying his chances in the polls.

He had earlier this month lamented that a prominent blogger was paid to character assassinate him.

“The blogger was asked to write that I am willing to pay RM20,000 to every division that nominates me and to say that I am working for Tun Daim Zainuddin to destroy Parti Keadilan Rakyat,” he said.
