The dictionary definition of an impostor

Zambry claimed that his fight is akin to those of Gandhi and Mandela. This is laughable and shameless. Lets look closer into each of the cases:

From 1948 to 1994, South Africa was under the spell of apartheid. During the time, racial politics were employed to systematically deny certain racial groups of equality. Mandela went through great personal losses to overturn the racist then government of South Africa. I dont see Zambry fought for equality. In fact, he belongs to the party that demonstrably played the racial politics to remain in power. Zambry will compare more favorably to the leaders in the pro-apatheid South Africa National Party than Mandela in the ANC.

Gandhi is a internationally revered figure for his philosophy and practise of total-nonviolence. His work and writing had inspired legions of next generation leaders from Martin Luther King to Au Sang Suu Kyi to Barack Obama. He employed his non-violent activitism to promote his central theme of equality. Its fair to say Zambry has yet to inspire much except confusion and anger of Perakians.

Zambry, please, before invoking the names of the accomplished, accomplish something worthy.
