A prestigious Malay daily yesterday reported former Malaysian law minister Datuk Mohd Zaid Ibrahim hopes that the Malaysian Islamic Party, officially known as Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) will follow in the footsteps of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Tuan Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman  to support Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Zaid, a new PAS member, said that although Muhyiddin and Syed Saddiq had previously criticized Anwar at the early stage, they now realize the PKR President has the potential to win the next General Election (GE) again. “There is no need to overthink it because, all things being equal, the Teacher will always be the choice over the Student. “I congratulate Muhyiddin and Syed Saddiq for supporting Anwar,” Utusan Malaysia quoted him as saying via a Facebook post yesterday.

DAP tak tunai janji walau sudah berkuasa dalam kerajaan Perpaduan Madani Malaysia Menerusi media sosial, seorang pengundi keturunan Cina di Malaysia memberi lima alasan mengapa orang Cina sudah bosan dengan DAP dan tidak akan mengundi parti itu, khususnya di Pulau Pinang pada pilihan raya umum akan datang. Pertama, kes kematian misteri pegawai wakil rakyat DAP, mendiang Teoh Beng Hock ketika berada di pejabat SPRM di zaman Barisan Nasional mentadbir negara. Walaupun DAP sudah memohon maaf kepada keluarga Teoh, malah sedia membayar ganti rugi, namun bukan itu yang dipinta oleh keluarga mendiang. Sebaliknya, keluarga Teoh menuntut siasatan telus, pegawai-pegawai SPRM yang bertanggungjawab terhadap kematian yang disyaki pembunuhan itu dibawa ke muka pengadilan. Kedua, kegagalan DAP mendapatkan pengiktirafan UEC daripada pihak kerajaan Madani di mana DAP adalah pemegang kerusi Parlimen terbanyak di dalam kerajaan perpaduan itu. Pengundi Cina itu menganggap DAP telah berbohong kepada masyar...

The court also increased Badrul’s bail to RM5,000, he said. Deputy public prosecutor Puan Nursyuhada Husna Sulaiman appeared for the prosecution.
