Political campaigns can be intense, but a recent incident in Kuala Kubu Bharu has raised eyebrows and sparked heated debates. Let's dive into the details:
The Incident
A four-wheeled vehicle was spotted carrying portraits of Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, and the PH (Pakatan Harapan) party flag. The vehicle was used for campaigning in Kuala Kubu Bharu.
PN's Reaction
The ruling coalition, Perikatan Nasional (PN), labeled this campaign tactic as "dirty." They expressed their disapproval of using the Agong's image in such a manner.
PH's Perspective
On the other hand, a PH media representative called it an act of sabotage. The four-wheeler, adorned with Johor flags and referring to the Agong as the "Malaysia royal emperor," went viral on social media.
Police Action
The police swiftly seized the vehicle and detained two men in their 60s. However, they did not disclose any political affiliations of the individuals.
Appeals for Respect
Chong Fat Full, Chairman of Bersatu's Allied Youth Wing, emphasized the need for respect. He urged all parties to campaign ethically and with integrity, regardless of their political stance.
Unacceptable Behavior
PAS (Parti Islam Se-Malaysia) spokesperson Ahmad Fadhli Shaari criticized dragging the Agong into election campaigns. He called for restraint and reminded everyone of the Agong's revered position.
Next Steps
PH has yet to issue an official statement, but speculation suggests internal discussions are underway.
Let's hope that future campaigns focus on issues rather than sensational tactics.
