Zul & the WSJ – The Star drips with hypocritical venom

by Nathaniel Tan

Our friends at The Star seem to be having quite a field day with Zul Nordin – yesterday it was “PKR tensions” or something, and today “Defiant Zul.”

Notwithstanding that a gag order has already been imposed on the Kulim MP pending a decision by PKR’s disciplinary board, it seems The Star is flailing desperately at a headline that will avoid the many problems Malaysia is in.

Oh, but did they think we would forget? The Star is owned by a party that… oh, what’s that?… COULDN’T ELECT IT’S OWN DAMN PRESIDENT?!

Having an MCA mouthpiece go on about one fellow in an opposing party, while it itself was plunged in the most mind boggling, ridiculous and downright embarrassing leadership struggle at the highest of levels so recently, is simply too much for this blogger to bear.

Hey, I’m the first to admit, PKR is rife with problems, and yes, I’d be glad to see the back of our Bandar Baru friend. The fact that PKR is far from unique in this regard is worth noting – although that is not an excuse for poor leadership or failing to make every effort to improve.

But this goes too far.

The Zul matter isn’t even the most odious thing in today’s Star. The venom in the article on the WSJ is really out of this world.

There isn’t enough space to counter that here, but stay tuned.
