Zulkifli questioned the opposition parties why they were using his past speeches now as a weapon to damage his image and reputation as he is now pro-government.
“I was a lawyer for opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in his first sodomy trial and was naive back then,” he told reporters after giving a speech here, today. Zulkifli is now the vice-chairman of Perkasa, which is aligned to Umno.
Kedah DAP committee member S. Neelamekan in a statement recently criticised Zulkifli for making remarks on the Indian community in a video clip. Asked whether he would be contesting in the upcoming 13th general election, Zulkifli said he had received offers and would consider them.
Zulkifli who was a Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) candidate in the 12th general election, won and received 22,255 votes for the Kulim/Bandar Baharu parliamentary seat, defeating Barisan Nasional candidate Datuk Abdul Aziz Sheikh Fadzir with a 5,583-vote majority.
