Pakatan Harapan parties can opt to be “realistic and smart” to allow Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) lead the opposition coalition, said former law minister Zaid Ibrahim.

“PKR can be smart and allow Bersatu to lead GE14 and win or continue feeling aggrieved and indulge in self-pity. It's D-Day today.

“DAP and Amanah can decide to be realistic, or they can continue with their fantasy. It's D-Day for them too,” he said in a Twitter posting.
