GRASSROOTS-BASED: When we arrive at 10pm on Tuesday, it is plain
-- and certainly unnerving -- to see that security at Perak Menteri
Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir's official residence in Ipoh is
virtually non-existent. There is a function at the hall inside the
compound, after which the affable Zambry gives us an hour of his time.
After us, he has more meetings lasting right into the wee hours.
Sleep-starved though he may be, Zambry remains alert as he speaks to
Rashid Yusof, Yushaimi Yahaya and Audrey Dermawan
Question: Malaysians have little knowledge of the kind of routine, lifestyle, timetable, difficulties and hardship a politician like you, as menteri besar, goes through daily. Do you get enough sleep every day?
Answer: Ah! By normal standards, no.
Question: Why is that so?
Answer: Because (chuckle) many things have to be done and I have to attend a series of meetings. There is a lot of work and a number of activities to be carried out. A lot of thought must be given to the meetings and series of ceramah and so on. So, normally, I don't go to bed before midnight. It is normally after 2am or 3am. It all depends. Like tonight, it's going to be 3am (after the interview with the New Sunday Times that went past midnight, Zambry had to chair another meeting). So, normally, I sleep for four hours, which is enough for me.
Question: So, you will be up early and by then, people are already lining up to talk to you?
Answer: Very early.
