That's the way to go, man!
Zahid Hamidi has painted the colors of how a true Home Ministers should be. After the announcement by PM Najib yesterday that he would be taking over the portfolio from Hishammuddin Hussein, he dropped a bombshell to 'unhappy' and 'ungrateful' Malaysians:
"If you are not happy, you may migrate!"
Zahid also said the opposition leaders, especially those from PKR and DAP, have been irresponsible in confusing young Chinese voters and their followers who are 'politically blind' to dress in black to protest against the result of the 13th general election which they believe is for them due to the popular vote.

In his first opinion piece in Utusan Malaysia, the MP for Bagan Datoh and former Defense Minister said the illegal gatherings held across the country by Pakatan Rakyat was a form of escapism and the denial of the fact that it failed to take control of Putrajaya.Led by Anwar Ibrahim, the opposition has held several rallies (with no untoward incident thus far) in Kelana Jaya, Penang, Kuantan, Ipoh and Johor Bahru to protest what their alleged as 'a general election marred with fraud and vote-rigging', something that they couldn't establish with valid proof.
“Even if it is true that the opposition had claimed a greater majority, the measurement used by the opposition had been manipulated to follow the list system or the single transferable vote system,” he said in column entitled “Perhimpunan haram sebab tak terima hakikat gagal kuasai Putrajaya.” (Illegal gathering because refuses to accept failure in controlling Putrajaya)
“Malaysia inherited the political system from the United Kingdom and many Commonwealth countries also use the first past the post system where political parties contesting in the election will only have one representative in each constituency with the principle of a simple majority of votes."
Zahid also said the opposition leaders, especially those from PKR and DAP, have been irresponsible in confusing young Chinese voters and their followers who are 'politically blind' to dress in black to protest against the result of the 13th general election which they believe is for them due to the popular vote.
“If these people wish to adopt the list system or the single transferable vote used by countires with the republic form of government, then they should migrate to these countries to practise their political beliefs.He also pointed out that PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang had already accepted the results and disagreed with the illegal gatherings by PKR and DAP.
“Malaysia is not a country to translate their political beliefs, even if they are really loyal to this country, they should accept the political system and the existing system to form a government as enshrined in the Federal Constitution,” he said.
“People are getting fed up with the behaviour of a number of opposition leaders who are dragging in the young, especially those of Chinese descent, by fanning the flames of hatred and racism in a pluralistic society which has already fostered a sense of harmony.
As the new Home Minister, Zahid will have to study and review some 'failed' policies implemented over the past four years, and introduce a new working strategy in handling some major issues like illegal immigrants, the stateless people and Rela status.
“The opposition is also questioning the authority of the Election Commission (EC) which had allegedly manipulated the votes. It is an outrageous accusation when the EC have observed most of their demands including the use of indelible ink that is only used by the third world countries,” he said.
