Daim Zainuddin, expelled from Umno yesterday, fired a warning shot against his former comrades, hinting he knew “stories” more than his friend and ally Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
He took particular aim at Wanita Umno leader Shahrizat Jalil, who was embroiled in what was labelled the “cows and condos” controversy in 2012 involving the National Feedlot Corporation.
Daim was expelled for showing support for Pakatan Harapan, whose chairman is Dr Mahathir, and has appeared at Pakatan ceramahs.
He gave warning that he knew more about Umno politicians’ backgrounds than did Dr Mahathir – who is often rumoured to have files on anyone worthy of note.
Daim said: “I know more stories than Dr Mahathir, people like Shahrizat all, jaga lembu sudah lah. Do not try to cucuk me, or else tomorrow I will melatah (ramble) … then it will be difficult,” Daim said at a talk with the voters of Permatang Pauh here today.
He said he was not afraid of a backlash from speaking out against BN chairman Najib Razak, saying he was only afraid of the Almighty.
“Of course, I am ‘scared’ of Najib, he is bigger than me. I am only afraid of Allah and hence answerable to him.
Daim said he had known Najib for a long time and that Najib used to write letters to him seeking a ministerial position.
