“An audio recording of a conversation allegedly …. Zahid Hamidi and … Anwar Ibrahim was leaked recently to Facebook.” – nothing came of the police investigation and for that matter, does the police have nothing to do to investigate leaked private conversations?
The boy who cry wolf is still trying to be PM and he will learn to his peril, the PM’s crown offered by UMNO is full of thorns.
It is without doubt the leaked tapes of senior politicians are of interest to the rakyat, yet we are aware, both of them are has beens trying to crawl up to places of power.
Much as I detest the manner PN assumed power, both Zahid and Anwar have much baggage with them!!
GE15 should be called ASAP , yes, I will then accept the results thereof!!
