The self-delusive ‘art’ in Azhar’s praise of Muhyiddin

[superadmin]

From Terence Netto

The Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat, Azhar Azizan Harun, has raised the art of the volte-face a further notch.

Among prominent public figures of recent years, the turnaround executed by lawyer Azhar, from supple critic of the Umno-Barisan Nasional government to supine protector in Parliament of the engineers of the “Sheraton Move”, was one of the more unabashed U-turns in the political arena.

Azhar’s turnabout was more self-demeaning than Tunku Abdul Aziz’s summersault from elegant critic of the excesses of Umno-BN to erstwhile defender of its machinations after he had served a stint as a DAP-appointed member of the Senate.
