Perhaps Zaid knows some things we don’t

From Terence Netto

No career in Malaysian politics has been stranger than Zaid Ibrahim’s.

Politically, the man has been around the block. Keeping track of the changes to his stances and party affiliations over the years has been a dizzying and unedifying business.

Zaid has been an Umno MP, a Cabinet minister, a PKR candidate for parliament, a sometime ally of Dr Mahathir Mohamad in his campaign to unseat Najib Razak, and a DAP member.

About the only party he has not joined is PAS; a liberal Malay/Muslim like Zaid would find PAS too medieval for his tastes.

Ah, yes, Zaid has also stayed clear of Parti Sosialis Malaysia, but he has socialist proclivities.

A foundation Zaid set up in his hometown of Kota Bahru in his wealthier days as a lawyer has provided aid to people suffering from a host of afflictions. This part of him Zaid does not wear on his sleeve.
