PETALING JAYA: Former law minister Zaid Ibrahim, in reacting to the sudden news that veteran journalist Zainuddin Maidin will stop writing contemporary political pieces, sent him a naughty tweet saying, “Cmon Zam be a man; dont submit if you believe in the cause?
“Country going down. Of course to be bold u have to be clean”
Zaid tweeted this message after news broke that Zainuddin, also known as Zam, had made the decision to end his political writing in his search for peace, away from “intimidation, pressure” and the smearing of his name in his old age.
However not wishing to let Zam off the hook that easily, Zaid, in his most recent tweet, said, “Zam, Tun M took good care of you.
“U would not be Editor, Minister and a Tan Sri but for Tun.
“The least you can do is stand by him”
Zaid was referring to Zam’s close relationship with former premier Mahathir Mohamad.
In his last blog posting, Zam said he felt insulted to hear that he had been accused of conspiring against Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak just because he once had breakfast with former finance minister Daim Zainuddin and on another occasion met Mahathir with a couple of friends.
Daim and Mahathir, like Zam, are prominent critics of Najib.
Zam’s decision took many by surprise as it comes close on the heels of another surprising announcement Sunday by opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim that he was willing to work with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission in their probe against the numerous wrongdoings of Daim.
