Zahrain’s a liar, a BN attack dog, says Pakatan

KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 — Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leaders hit back today at former PKR man Datuk Seri Zahrain Mohd Hashim’s sensational claims about Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s planned Sept 16 takeover of Putrajaya by calling him a liar.

Yesterday Zahrain (picture) had accused PKR and its de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for straying from the path of righteousness to become “subservient” to the DAP.

The Bayan Baru MP, in his inaugural speech as an Independent, took the opportunity to slam his former party comrades, pointing out that he had been cheated into believing that the Sept 16 takeover would actually happen.

Today, PR leaders, led by PKR Secretary-General Saifuddin Nasution claimed that Zahrain was a non-performing MP since 2008 and that his “sudden” vocal stance was because he was Barisan Nasional’s “attack dog” and “mercenary.”

“In two years as MP, Zahrain had never talked in a royal debate, or budget, policy... but now suddenly, he has suddenly found a voice. I believe this change is because he is an attack dog of BN.”

“The MPs from PKR who have defected are BN’s attack dogs and mercenaries,” said Saifuddin.

Saifuddin asserted that Zahrain’s claims about Sept 16 were figments of his imagination, and claimed that PR had proof that he was lying and will reveal more soon.

“It’s a lie, a creation of his mind. Zahrain’s a liar,” he said.
