Zulkifeli, coming clean on fraud is an act of betrayal? Where is your moral?!

Armed Forces chief General Zulkifeli Mohd Zin today described those claiming that its rank-and-file had been involved in electoral fraud as an act of betrayal. Yesterday, four ex-military personnel confessed to committing poll fraud at a press conference organised by opposition party PAS.

In an emotional statement issued this afternoon, Zulkifeli slammed those making the allegations and questioned their “loyalty” to the Armed Forces of Malaysia (ATM) and said, “The actions can be interpreted as treachery and it should stop immediately. The ATM is the nation's wall of defence that should be supported by all levels of the people, regardless of ethnicity, religion and political position...It is hoped that the ATM is not made a scapegoat by those seeking to advance their own interests... the people should show their support and appreciation for the contributions of the ATM. In this context: 'How can we be loyal to you if you are disloyal to us'?"
