Datuk Zaid Ibrahim - He Who Stood Out

Finally, we have a man who stood out among the midst of warlords.

At a tumultous period that we're facing now, we need people who can voice out, who can make a difference, who can show that we do not need to follow the blind.

We have RPK. And now, we have Zaid Ibrahim who have that decided enough is enough.

The PM has approved of his resignation, as reported on news today. His resignation is a loss to people who wants to see justice done. In times like this, I can't help but harbour a flicker of hope and thought that... what if he stays on and continue the fight from enemy base? The people are in need of brave fighters who dare to turn the tables on the warlords, more than we need a martyr.

Nevertheless, it's a very courageous move and should be applauded. The man must have thought a great deal before coming to that decision. He had fought well. With people like him, we might still have hope for the country.
