Pkr Mp Pans Razman S Insincere Apology Tells Him Not To Blame Media

---

A PKR leader has taken a swipe at Perak PAS commissioner Razman Zakaria’s admission that he had erroneously described Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh as the daughter of YTL Corporation Berhad’s founder Yeoh Tiong Lay.
PKR communications director Lee Chean Chung in a statement described Razman’s subsequent apology as “insincere” as the vocal politician also blamed the media and specifically Malaysiakini for not highlighting the rest of his 30-minute speech.
“Although he (Razlan) has admitted his mistake, he is trying to shift part of the responsibility to Malaysiakini, claiming that the news report manipulated his statement.
“I believe his apology is not sincere, as there is no deep reflection on his error; instead, he is merely blaming the media,” said Lee (above), who is Petaling Jaya MP.
Perak PAS commissioner Razman Zakaria“Razman tried to blame the media by claiming that his statement was taken out of context, being only 10 seconds from a 30-minute speech.
“However, the statement was something he himself publicly uttered. The media’s responsibility is to report his statement accurately, not to ‘fabricate’ stories,” said Lee.
Earlier today, Hannah shared a 20-second excerpt of Razman's speech - a full-length version shared on his Facebook - in which the Gunung Semanggol assemblyperson claimed that she is a daughter of the YTL tycoon.
‘Main issue is your attitude’
He had also alleged that the Umno-led state government in the past sold a Perak cement company to YTL Group.
In her response, Hannah, who is a DAP lawmaker, stated that PAS should know that not all Yeohs are related.

“Razman’s attempt to shift the blame to the media does not change the fact that the error originated from himself.
“As a politician, one must take responsibility for every statement made, rather than attempting to obscure the mistake once it has been exposed to the public,” said Lee.
Hannah has yet to directly respond to Razman’s apology.  - Mkini
