"At the time, I did not object as I thought this would strengthen my position and enable Bersatu to become a stronger member of Harapan.”

COMMENT | Perikatan Nasional secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin as Malaysia's new opposition leader is the perfect frontman for Abdul Hadi Awang and PN, the theocratic state in waiting.

Not only has Hamzah (above) ably demonstrated that he was an efficient bagman for the Malay uber alles crowd as evidenced by the quote from the old maverick that opens this piece, but he has also demonstrated his willingness to be outspoken on issues that the Malay uber alles crowd uses to demonise the “other” in this country.

Let us not be politically correct and spout horse manure like giving the new opposition leader a chance....
