Why Zahid? why Zafrul? asks Rafidah

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – Former international trade minister Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz has questioned the appointment of Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to the cabinet, saying it raised questions and could turn out to be a setback for the new unity government.

In an open letter to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Facebook, the outspoken retired politician did not name Zahid, but described him as one of two “albatrosses” around Anwar’s neck.

The other albatross is believed to be Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, whom Rafidah also did not name but alluded to when she noted an appointment of one who had lost in the general election and is now being made a senator in order to become a minister.
