UMNO remnant “leader” Zahid appears to be filling in time before prosecutions against him begin with attempts to make communal trouble.

One can easily understand why he appears to have a distaste for the normal process of police investigation and subsequent prosecution. But to call for a Royal Commission of Enquiry into the unfortunate death of courageous fireman Adlib can only be seen as a blatant attempt to seek public sympathy by a wholly discredited politician of doubtful provenance.

If this “intervention” has any significance at all it is that prosecutions of former BN leaders should not be delayed a moment longer than absolutely necessary. Until that process is over these persons have opportunities to try to stir the pot by racial and communal means in a vain attempt to discredit PH and, so, escape the net.
