The people of Buloh Kasap and Segamat join all right-thinking Malaysians to condemn the cutting out of the image of Malaysia’s longest-serving Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad from a giant billboard in Ayer Hitam, featuring DAP/PH candidate for Ayer Hitam parliamentary constituency, Liew Ching Tong, Tun Mahathir and the DAP/PH candidate for Yong Peng state assembly seat, Chew Pek Choo.
I saw the photographs on Malaysiakini report on the cutting out of Mahathir’s image from the giant billboard half an hour ago, and I must confess that I was utterly shocked that such disrespect and contempt for the seniors and elders in the country could happen in so blatant and brazen a manner.
Let me say that it is not only the Chinese and Indians in Malaysia who are outraged at the contempt shown to Mahathir, I believe that the overwhelming majority of Malays in Malaysia will be equally outraged.
Why is Najib so frightened of Mahathir?
What has become of Malaysia where the most basic moral and religious precepts are being flouted, where the seniors and elders are treated with utter contempt while the thieves and liars are given exalted positions?
I must ask the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, whether this is the way he wants to win the 14th General Elections, as if the unfair and undemocratic disqualification of one parliamentary candidate and five state assembly candidates from Pakatan Harapan were not enough?
