PUCHONG: Former DAP state assemblyman Datuk Norhizam Hassan Baktee proudly declared that he is a political lackey (barua).
“I admit I’m a lackey,” he said, while declaring support for Perikatan Nasional.
Speaking a press conference after Malacca is said to be falling to Perikatan Nasional, Norhizam, who is a Malacca DAP deputy chairman, said that he switched allegiance for the sake of the Malays.
“I acted in the interest of the Malays which I’ve worked hard for and they (Pakatan Harapan) promised to serve Malay interest but that’s not what I saw.
“When I gave my heart and soul (to the previous leadership) but this is what happened.
“I was disappointed, so I went with Perikatan Nasional. I hope the new leadership will not disappoint the people,” he said, while receiving applause from those around him.
Asked about his position with the DAP, Norhizam said he was prepared for any possibilities.
“It’s between me and the party. I’m ready for all possibilities,” he said.
