Apologise in the afterlife, Zahid’s daughter tells critics

PETALING JAYA: The daughter of Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is vexed with a suggestion that she takes up a low-paying job following her father’s challenge.

Nurulhidayah Ahmad Zahid told those running the parody Facebook account Amran Fans, who had made the suggestion, that they will have to apologise to her in the afterlife.

“It’s fun reading your comments. They’re suitable considering your brain cells don’t quite connect. A very entertaining day for me.

“I will wait for all of you to look for me on the Plains of Mashar.

“It’s not only in this world but also in the afterlife that people look for others to apologise to.

“We aren’t acquainted in this world but we will meet on the Plains of Mashar,” she posted on her Instagram account @deltanovzulu.

In the Quran, the Plains of Mashar is the place where all beings gather for judgment.

The Amran Fans post that Nurulhidayah was responding to had asked her to take a job as a call centre employee, salesperson, supermarket cashier or waitress.

“Only then can we tell whether the Malaysian public is lazy.

“But no, (the authorities) conduct their own research. Then they say they want to bring in 1.5mil Bangladeshis because the public is lazy,” the post read.

Following Nurulhidayah’s response, Amran Fans hit back by asking who should be the one waiting on the Plains of Mashar.

“How about us, the common folk, who are often hurt by these ministers? You should be more concerned that your father will be tired looking for us to apologise to,” read the post.

On Sunday, Dr Ahmad Zahid challenged Malaysian youths to take up jobs in the dirty, difficult and dangerous fields if they did not want more foreign workers to be brought into the country.

This came as a result of growing criticism over the Government’s decision to bring in 1.5 million Bangladeshi workers in stages over three years.
