Gobind Singh ejected from Parliament again

KUALA LUMPUR: Gobind Singh (DAP-Puchong) was ejected from Parliament Monday, the third time in two years.

Gobind was hitting out at Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein for dodging questions linked to the alleged interference by the the ministry in police matters, and also the involvement of the police in blocking the then Sultan of Kelantan Sultan Ismail Petra's convoy in May.

Zaid Ibrahim the Chameleon

I think he should just stick with his law practice. After his "stints" in both UMNO and PKR, I don't think a lot of people will trust him. And he has the cheeks to say good luck to "adoring fans" of DSAI. Politics is always dirty.

Zaid quits race for PKR No 2, all party posts

PETALING JAYA: Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has quit the PKR deputy presidential race saying the party "leadership actively condone malpractices and electoral fraud to achieve its designed objectives."

"Finally, I hope those adoring fans of Anwar Ibrahim will no longer regard me as a “spoiler” standing in the way of their march to Putrajaya. I wish them well." Read more at thestar.com.my
