Dalam tulisan bertajuk "Talkin’ bout The New Order" (Malaysia Today 31/1/09), Raja Petra Kamaruzaman menceritakan bukan Datuk Seri Zahrain Mohamed Hashim sahaja yang buat hal. Beliau juga menceritakan tentang seorang Ahli Parlimen berbangsa Cina yang:

...accumulated loads of gambling debts. To pay off some of these gambling debts he borrowed a lot of money from the alongs (loan sharks) and they are now hounding him for the return of the money. He is under so much pressure he is even afraid to go home lest the alongs spot him and come knocking on his door.

Invariably, he needs a lot of money to pay off his gambling debts plus what he owes the alongs. And where to get the money other than from Barisan Nasional?

Seorang lagi Ahli Parlimen berbangsa Cina yang dijangka melompat pula mempunyai:

...two mistresses. Yes, that’s right, you heard me right. Two mistresses! And one of these mistresses -- who lives in Taman Tun Dr Ismail -- has just given birth. So this Chinese Member of Parliament has just become a father of an illegitimate child and this has caused some problems for him.

Umno has threatened to expose him and to reveal his immoral lifestyle. What future will he have after that? So, to protect his secret and to ensure that Umno will not reveal the story about his mistresses and bastard child and whatnot, he needs to consider leaving Pakatan Rakyat and go join Barisan Nasional, maybe MCA, Gerakan or PPP.

Hari ini, Malaysian Insider menyiarkan berita bertajuk "'Kata dua' MP Nibong Tebal keluar PKR jika isu tak selesai". Tidaklah diketahui apakah kaitan tulisan RPK itu dengan berita MI tersebut.

Di Selangor pula, Exco kerajaan negeri itu, Ronnie Liu disifatkan biadap oleh seorang pembaca Malaysiakini bernama Rocky. Lihat artikel bertajuk "Long live Selcat!"

Dalam artikel yang sama, Md Imraz Bin Muhammed Ikhbal menulis:

Like in any court hearing or parliamentary sitting, there must be some form of order for Seclat to function as intended. Teng is the undisputed authority in this case by virtue of his function in the Selcat hearing. He gave Liu every ample opportunity to comply with his call to stop drinking and not interrupt him, but this was rudely ignored by Liu. That is unbecoming of the latter and he should definitely be reprimanded.

Liu's explanation to the Selcat committee is also unsatisfactory and I applaud Teng and Selcat for being objective in their treatment of those hauled up for questioning, be they in the BN camp or Pakatan Rakyat (Gambar ihsan Malaysiakini).

Kesemua yang buat hal itu naik dengan undi dan kepercayaan yang diberikan oleh rakyat. Dalam pilihan raya 8/3/08 lalu, Zahrain sendiri mendapat 27,618 berbanding 16,589 yang diperolehi calon BN, 16,589. Bila dah naik dengan undi dan kepercayaan rakyat, ramai yang berlagak seolah-olah mereka naik sendiri tanpa sokongan dan bantuan rakyat.

Berapa ramai rakyat yang menyumpah-nyumpah mereka?

Zahrain reportedly said he had sufficient proof of Lim’s discriminatory behaviour and would forward them to the disciplinary committee when the time comes for him (Zahrain) to appear before them.
