FMT - Opposition must accept the outcome on polling day, says Zaid (extracts):
Zaid called on the chiefs of the armed forces and the inspector-general of police to issue a joint statement urging the people to remain peaceful and calm throughout the election.
“Peace and security for all Malaysians must be paramount considerations at all times.
“May the winners be magnanimous, and the losers gracious. That’s all I can hope for on May 9.”
Dato’ Zaid in his remarks said that he knew Teresa Kok personally and had worked with her on the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Myanmar Caucus and described her as a hardworking MP and “she could never be anti-Malay, anti-Islam or anti-anything”.
Zaid Ibrahim has shown his high principles in voluntarily resigning as Minister in charge of Law under the AAB cabinet because he protested against the government's misuse of the ISA in detaining Teresa Kok and a Chinese news journalist.
Zaid ... said the May 9 polls had seen an unparalleled level of rivalry between the ruling Barisan Nasional and opposition pact Pakatan Harapan, with both camps appearing confident of victory.
“Given these expectations, one side will be terribly disappointed with the outcome, and followers may become too emotional and unwilling to accept the results.
“To members of the opposition, I say this: there may be many things you do not like about the election process in our country, but once you agree to participate in it, you must be willing to accept the outcome,” he said in a blog post.
Zaid, who is a DAP member, said it was incumbent on leaders from both sides to ensure that their supporters would accept the decision of voters at the ballot box.
Should the opposition lose, he said, its supporters must be able to accept the outcome. If, on the other hand, Prime Minister Najib Razak was defeated, he too must be willing to hand over power as quickly as possible. [...]

It riles me greatly when clowns, coteh and c***s tok-kok like saying : "He is DAP member? But he talks like UMNO? Will be turn katak? Who knows?".
Just what is a political katak?
Are Mahathir, Muhyiddin and Mukhriz kataks?
Looks like I have to explain to you lot again, especially those still without pubic hair, just exactly what is meant by a political katak, and whether Zaid Ibrahim, like Mahathir, Muhyiddin and Mukhriz, are political frogs?
Let me start by asking a very relevant question - Does Zaid hold a MP or ADUN position?
If he doesn't, then how can he be a katak?
A katak is one who takes his MP or ADUN position across to a party which didn't win that representation in the first place, like for example, Kamarudin bin Jaffar of PAS who recently took his MP position (Tumpat) from PAS to PKR.

Kamarudin bin Jaffar |
Recently several PAS ADUNs lompat from PAS to PKR in Selangor - they are frogs.
Another example was demonstrated in Sabah in 1994 when Anwar Ibrahim, then DPM and thus BN Director of election campaign in Sabah, 'created' enough kataks to turn Joseph Pairin from a newly elected CM of Sabah into the opposition leader for that state.
Anwar tried to do again allegedly with 30 BN MPs just after the 2008 GE in his 916 scheme. He failed that second time, mind you, not for lack of help from Hannah Yeoh, wakakaka.

Officer, are you sure 140 is greater than 82? |
We also saw the turning-door kataks in Perak after the first Nizar Jamaluddin Administration when PKR ADUNs and one DAP ADUN (the remarkable Mrs Hee) metamorphosed into blue BN-ites.
OK you tok-kok mongrels, remember this - A katak is one who takes his MP or ADUN position across to a party which didn't win that representation in the first place.
So, is Mahathir a katak?
Of course no, because he doesn't hold any MP position - in fact he has already retired or so he claims, wakakaka.
And are Mukhriz (ADUN Ayer Hitam Kedah) and Muhyiddin (MP Pagoh) kataks?
No, because they were both expelled by UMNO thus it's not their fault if they subsequently join Pribumi.
Don't simply accuse people of being katak without even understanding that colloquial term. Or, based on your fcking nonsense, you can then say the biggest katak of all should be Mahathir. Do you mangy Mafulat-ish mongrels like that?
Just to remind you lot, Zaid was already a minister in AAB's cabinet (for Law), yet he resigned on his own accord to protest in disgust at the government's use of the ISA to detain sweetie Teresa Kok and a sweetie Chinese news journalist.
On Teresa Kok's blog, sweetie wrote:
Kit Siang applauded Dato’ Zaid’s decision to resign as Minister on the matter of principle that the ISA should not be used against civilians but only against those who advocate the overthrow of government by force or terrorists.
Dato’ Zaid in his remarks said that he knew Teresa Kok personally and had worked with her on the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Myanmar Caucus and described her as a hardworking MP and “she could never be anti-Malay, anti-Islam or anti-anything”.
He added that Malaysia had adequate laws to deal with any eventuality and there was no justification to use the ISA on politicians and civilians.
“People say that we have peace and stability in Malaysia because of the ISA but I say that we have peace and security despite the ISA. Cukuplah”, he added, “We should stop using the ISA for political purposes”.
He said there were cases where ISA detainees were awarded Datoships soon after their release – this showed that the ISA had been misused in the past. “If these people were threats to national security, how can they be awarded Datoships?” he asked.
He was also instrumental in enabling former Lord President of the Judiciary Salleh Abas and other judges unjustly sacked under the Mahathir Administration to be duly compensated.
