Zaid offers Teresa condolences over probe, DAP's 'meek support'

Former law minister Zaid Ibrahim has defended Seputeh MP Teresa Kok after police launched a probe over her remarks that mandatory halal certification for restaurants would burden businesses and make Malaysia a global mockery.

In a post on X, he offered the DAP lawmaker condolences for her party's secretary-general Anthony Loke’s “meek support” while others were silent, effectively “throwing her under the bus”.
