Member of Kedah DAP’s legal bureau committee Zulhazmi Shariff, who authored a comment piece titled “Apa salahnya DAP jadi TPM?” (What’s wrong with DAP becoming DPM?), has denounced the media spin on his article.

Commenting on his piece which was published by Malaysiakini yesterday in its Malay section, Zulhazmi believes that Utusan Online as well as its print version had published reports on the matter based on his comment piece.

“After reading the Utusan Online report, I could only smile over Utusan’s ‘spinning skills’, a fact that has been known for a long time,” Zulhazmi said in a statement today.

He reiterated that his comment piece, citing the Federal Constitution, had argued that there was nothing wrong with DAP setting its sights on the deputy prime minister's post.

Zulhazmi had responded to Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's aide who challenged DAP leader Lim Kit Siang to "confess to his dream" of being appointed to the number two post.
