Expressing concern over the future of the country, Zaid Ibrahim has urged Malaysians to vote wisely in the next general election.

“I never thought that Malaysia could go to pieces in such a short time. But in 2017, we can all do something about it if we want to,” the former law minister said in his New Year message.

According to Zaid, the Malays have a great opportunity to make a choice that would set them free and change their lives for generations.

To do this, he said in his message posted on his blog, they must take the BR1M money, but not feel beholden to cast their ballots for BN and not to believe all that is shown on TV3 without checking with other sources.
