Name the three, Zahid told


PKR gives the defence minister 24 hours to reveal the opposition leaders purportedly behind the Sabah intrusion.

(FMT) – PKR has given Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi 24-hours to reveal the identity of three opposition leaders said to be behind the Lahad Datu intrusion by Sulu rebels some two month ago.

PKR vice president N Surendran challenged Zahid to come clean and name the three opposition leaders as claimed.

He was responding to a statement by Zahid yesterday that three opposition leaders are behind the Lahad Datu intrusion.

Surendran claimed that the statement was an attempt to cause political damage to Pakatan Rakyat — the opposition coalition made up of PAS, PKR and DAP — as Zahid failed to provide any evidence to support his allegation.

“I challenge Zahid to immediately name the so-called three opposition leaders involved with the Lahad Datu incident within 24-hours.

“Failure to reveal the names and evidence will be proof of irresponsible slander,” said Surendran.

Zahid said on Friday the ministry had enough evidence to link the three – two from Peninsular Malaysia and one from Sabah — to the intrusion.

He said the evidence would be submitted to the Attorney General’s office for further action after the general election.

Surendran also called on the BN leadership to stop slandering and engage in debates the with opponents instead.
