Malaysiakini: Zaid Ibrahim called a traitor for criticizing UMNO

On October 31, ex-Law Minister Zaid Ibrahim (image) took a swipe at UMNO, saying the party's ideology of "ketuanan Melayu (Malay supremacy)" was a failure and had deviated from addressing the real issues plaguing the country. He said this during the 21st LawAsia Conference 2008 which he expressed in his speech that the government should practise a more transparent form of democracy to accommodate the rights of all Malaysians.
