Seeing this lawyer in action one must think that there is competition for Shafee Abdullah and the traits coming from now 2013 till the next General Election. Pakatan have a credible and dependable lawyer in Ashok Kandiah. His wisdom and actions yesterday in acquiring the release of Tian Chua, Tamrin Ghafar and Harris Ibrahim has sent shock waves to Zahid Hamidi and the Home Ministry. They still haven't been able to take control of the courts and this is causing pandemonium within the UMNO circles.

Katanya, Zahid sepatutnya menawarkan diri untuk berdepan dengan rakyat yang mahukan kebebasan bersuara bukannya berselindung di sebalik polis. "Zahid bukannya hendak berdepan dengan rakyat, sebaliknya berselindung di belakang polis. Dia bukan pemimpin yang berani sebab guna polis," katanya kepada Harakahdaily....
