Hard To Trust Serial Defamer Syahredzan Tells Pas Leader To Repent

---

DAP lawmaker Syahredzan Johan finds it difficult to extend the benefit of the doubt to Perak PAS commissioner Razman Zakaria over his latest “error”.
The Bangi MP advised the veteran politician to "repent" and urged him to reflect on whether his actions set a positive example for the people and party members.
“If it happened once, we could give the benefit of the doubt. But Razman has repeatedly slandered. It’s hard for us to believe a ‘serial defamer’,” Syahredzan said in a social media post.
“We tend to believe that Razman is only admitting his mistake because it went viral and he’s afraid of being sued like the other PAS YB (Kepala Batas MP Siti Mastura Muhammad who lost a defamation case against DAP leaders),” he added.
Syahredzan was commenting on Razman apologising to Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh for claiming that she is the daughter of YTL Corporation Berhad’s founder Yeoh Tiong Lay.
PAS leader Razman Zakaria“I acknowledge the factual error regarding the connection between Hannah and YTL. I admit that Hannah has no connection with the corporate figure or the YTL company.
“This was an unintentional error in the quoting process.
“With this statement, I express regret and offer my apologies to Hannah, YTL, and any parties affected or offended by the confusion caused by the factual error," Razman said.
DAP lawmaker Hannah YeohSyahredzan also dismissed the PAS leader’s complaint that the media had only focused on his remarks about the minister and did not report his entire speech.
“If it's truly a mistake, apologise and admit it. There's no need to give a lecture about the video being cut and so on. Those are all excuses. What Razman said in the video is clear as day,” he added.
Unhappy with report
In his media statement, the PAS leader had also expressed disappointment with Malaysiakini over its report highlighting his claim about Hannah.
“The excerpt of my speech quoted by Malaysiakini was a statement that was not the main point, especially as the event featured three prominent figures.
“I urge reporting that sharpens the intellect of the people rather than inciting animosity among them,” he said.
Last December, Razman was forced to apologise to Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming after falsely linking the latter to a procession in Teluk Intan where delegates from China waved the Chinese national flag. - Mkini
