>KUALA LUMPUR - Ultra-conservative Parti Keadilan Rakyat MP for Kulim Bandar Baru Zulkifli Noordin has objected to Elizabeth Wong's return to politics and wants the Selangor Government to review its decision. Posting in his blog, Zulkifli claimed that the decision would heap pressure on PKR's partners in Pakatan Rakyat - Pas and DAP.
"I believe she would have thoroughly thought through her decision before offering her resignation," he said. "The Selangor government's decision to force her to keep her posts shows that they do not respect her earlier decision."
Zulkifli also lashed out at Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim for blaming the police force for the decision to get Wong to remain as assemblyman for Bukit Lanjan as an executive councillor.
"We all know and are aware that the police investigation was delayed as there was no cooperation from the suspect who chose not to cooperate till today."
Zulkifli said he was one of the first few to defend Wong when semi-nude pictures of her were circulated and had urged for stern action to be taken against those responsible to make public her private life.
Zulkifli gained notoriety when he barged into a forum on conversion and Islam, organised by the Bar Council in August last year. PKR claimed that it has taken disciplinary action against him for disrupting the forum.
