Stop picking on Daim, media told

You don't know who you're dealing with, says veteran newsman Kadir Jasin.
Tun Daim Kadir JasinKUALA LUMPUR: A veteran newsman took to his blog today to come to the defence of former finance minister Daim Zainuddin, who has been at the receiving end of media criticism in recent days.
Abdul Kadir Jasin, in his latest blog entry, said he has followed Daim’s career since his early days as a reporter.
He said the critics didn’t know who they were dealing with and were placing Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak in a difficult spot.
“Criticising Daim could be a strategy which could come back to haunt Najib who has become increasingly vulnerable,” he said.
Kadir referred to the critics, including those in the mainstream media, as upstarts still wet behind the ears as they seemed to be playing to the dictates of the opposition alliance, Pakatan Rakyat (PR).
“PR has its own hidden agenda in blackening Daim’s image,” he said. “Daim was among those responsible for the rise and fall of Anwar Ibrahim.
“PR knows that Daim is on good terms with many in their own parties. This presents a challenge for them, especially given Daim’s reputation for being a good strategist.”
He advised the critics and apple polishers to focus instead on the many issues bogging down the Najib administration instead of picking on Daim. These issues, he pointed out, ranged from the outdated Budget 2015 to the worst floods in living memory to GST, the share market, Bank Negara reserves, etc.
Kadir also made it clear that he thought the critics, being young eager beavers, were ignorant about the relationship between their boss – Najib – and those whom they criticised. “If it was up to Abdullah Badawi, Najib won’t be Prime Minister today.” That was his exampe to show that Daim was among those instrumental in putting Najib where he is today.
“When Najib landed in Kota Baru from Honolulu, Daim was among the first people he called,” says Kadir in pointing out that the former finance minister was on good terms with all on both sides of the political divide.
“This has alarmed the upstarts and apple polishers since Daim’s advice, if Najib heeds it, may not be good for them.”
So these people, he continued, wanted to pit Daim and Najib against each other. “They don’t seem to realise that their boss can be easily exposed given the many issues surrounding his administration.”
