Ant-Mahathir, Anti-Crossover Haris Ibrahim

Shahanaaz Habib, the first Malaysian journo to enter Baghdad during the US invasion of Iraq, came face-to-face with lawyer Haris Ibrahim in today’s The Star.
Haris, the man behind The People’s Parliament blog, is a hardcore anti-Mahathir and anti-crossover (he does not think Anwar Ibrahim should try to form a Pakatan Rakyat government by getting Barisan MPs to cross over, as the act of crossing is tantamount to “fraud”). He lists Info Minister Shabery Cheek as one of the few Barisan Nasional MPs he has (some) regards for.
In the interview, Haris did not forget to say thank you to the New Straits Times, for making him start People’s Parliament.

“When they sued Rocky and Jeff Ooi*, it forced me to look into blogs and I reaslied this was a powerful opportunity for me to share the little messages that I have with fellow Malaysians.”
