00:00 Senior lawyer Zaid Ibrahim believes that a massive demonstration would have been imminent

00:06 if the discharge granted to Ahmad Zaid Hamidi yesterday had happened under a Barisan National

00:12 Government.

00:13 In a lengthy post on Twitter, Zaid seemingly took aim at the Deputy Prime Minister's

00:18 discharge not amounting to an acquittal, comparing it to the SRC International trial of Najib

00:24 Raza last year.

00:26 Zaid lamented that the noble arguments put up then to justify barring former Prime Minister

00:31 Najib from changing his lawyers were nowhere to be heard in Zahid's case yesterday.

00:38 The former Law Minister added that "this sacred idea of justice was exposed for all

00:43 to see for what it is."

00:46 He said if the discharge had taken place under the BN leadership, there would have been a

00:50 massive demonstration with many raising questions about the rule of law and whether the Prime

00:56 Minister should resign.

00:58 Zaid then said, "With the reformist leader heading the government ably supported by TAP,

01:04 you will not hear anyone making a fuss."
