'It goes to show how low the Umnoputra are willing to sink just to score points. Hitting below the belt is what they are good, besides stealing from us poor rakyat that is. Fair-minded Malaysians are not fooled.'

Zaid may drown in liquor allegations

Aramsa: Instead of talking about the economy and what P Kamalanthan can do, the Umnoputras are resorting to gutter politics to win the day. This is campaigning using low-level guerilla tactics. What a shame. Are they running out of ideas or are they deliberately creating something which will backfire on BN. Strange accusation indeed.

This is really Umno, no more and no less. Always the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. One leader is smear campaigning one's character and the other is denying it . I really know don't know when they will wake up to his hypocrisy and confusion

Toh SP: BN/Umno, you are a bunch of hypocrites. If Zaid Ibrahim has an unsavoury past and is not fit to be elected as a MP, how come BN/Umno appointed him a minister during his BN/Umno days? Why nobody raised this issue then?

If you want to be a moral police, then cleanse your own party of the alleged murderers, womanisers (mind you, you have a president of a component party who has admitted that he is a one and yet you accept him as a political partner), etc.

If you do this honestly and sincerely, I believe more than half of your cabinet will not be fit for office.

Sarawakian: Resorting to personal attacks is so typical of the BN because they don't have anything else to show. Hishammuddin Hussein may deny it, but look at Muhyiddin Yassin and Mohd Ali Rustam speeches.

It goes to show how low the Umnoputra are willing to sink just to score points. Hitting below the belt is what they are good, besides stealing from us poor rakyat that is. Fair-minded Malaysians are not fooled.

P Dev Anand Pillai: If they can post Zaid's photo with a beer bottle, why can Pakatan post a photo with Hishammuddin with a beer can which was seen in the Internet recently.

Showing Elizabeth Wong in her sarong? It will be a lie if every Malay woman says that she sleeps with a full gear on inclusive of the tudung!

If this is what BN is about that is to peep into women's houses to see if they are wearing their bras and panties when they sleep, and to see who is drinking and who is not then they deserve to be a "shit, shit and shit" government in the words of the great Perkasa lord Ibrahim Ali whom the BN candidate supports.

Gk: The fact is that no one can claim that we comply to every single teaching of our respective religion - not Ali Rustam, not Najib Razak, not Mahathir Mohamad, not Muhyiddin Yassin, and of course not Zaid Ibrahim. These are just shameful tactics that run down opponents. For Zaid to own up his so-called 'mistake' is a plus point to me. For me, I don't even regard this as a mistake.

Ichigo: Kudos to Zaid for owning up his past mistakes and repented. Comparing him to those unrepentant villains who steal from the nation to enrich themselves, commit murder, adultery, abuse of power, take bribes, misuse the taxpayers' money, etc, Zaid is like a saint.

ABU: Umno and BN stealing from the rakyat through inflated contracts is worse than drinking liquor.

Maddy: Even though I don't support PKR, I feel that Zaid must win because he's a good, principled guy compare to Ali Rustam who is not even suited to be an Umno deputy president (but still can be a chief minister of a state). Zaid should ask Hindraf to campaign for him.

Geronimo: So Zaid Ibrahim admitted he drank but why did Umno condone his actions when he was the law minister? Why attack him now that he had left the party. Some time ago, there were photos circulating that Hishammuddin Hussein and his wife were caught drinking. By right Umno should bring the blade down on Hishammuddin, but why didn't they?

Since we are on the subject of moral issues, maybe Ali Rustam has suddenly suffered from an eclipse of memory that his predecessor was allegedly involved with an underaged girl, and I guess that is alright with an Islamic party like Umno? What a bunch of losers and hypocrites.

Black Mamba: BN should know better than to play this game of ‘I am holier than thou'. They have the most corrupt MPs in Parliament and are the biggest hypocrites, and most have scandals of sex and money that can fill up volumes of books.

Let just start by the PM, DPM right up to the current and previous cabinet to leaders of the components parties who don't hold ministerial posts now. This is akin of "the pot calling the kettle black".

Lonestar: Stop taking the moral high ground. Let the person who is completely moral cast the first stone. All of us have sinned. There is only one sinless one.

RJM: Ali Rustam, allow me to recount the scandal of you being found guilty of ‘money politics', a lesser description for corruption. Do you recollect the time when you descended to the level of a louse in embarking upon a racial tirade against Malaysians of Indian descend at a PPP gathering? These should be the subjects discussed at ceramah, not the private life of Elizabeth Wong.

Stories: It's ironic someone found guilty of money politics want to talk about morality.
