Confusing love for political lust


IN a weekend full of quotable quotes coming from the Umno general assembly, the quote that stuck most in my mind came from PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan: "I may have lost someone who didn’t love me, but you lost someone who truly loved you."

I think these words are ultimately best remembered as the funniest quote of the weekend, and a brilliant epitome of self-delusion that seems endemic among our politicians today.
