---

The family of Human Resources Minister Steven Sim’s adopted daughter has returned RM100 to PAS MP Fawwaz Mohamad Jan following the circulation of a video on social media.
This was disclosed by Sim’s special officer Rosly Yusof in a Facebook post - where he also shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation with the teenager’s father.
“For the sake of his family's dignity, which was insulted over RM100, Pakcik Rusli (the father) has returned the donation from the Permatang Pauh lawmaker (Fawwaz).
“A police report will also be lodged, and legal action will follow,” he added.
In the WhatsApp message, the father stated that he had returned the money to Fawwaz’s aide, who promised to investigate the video.

In response, Sim - who is also the Bukit Mertajam MP - condemned the opposition for involving his adopted daughter in political attacks, stressing political disagreements should not cross the line of decency.
“The opposition can insult me, it's fine, I forgive them.
“But don't be arrogant and rude by slandering my adopted child and their family… If you're going to play politics, do it with some decency,” he said on X.
Rosly clarified that the girl has been receiving a monthly living allowance of RM200 under the “YB’s Adopted Child” programme and has been under consistent care throughout her studies in Malacca.
Sim adopted the teenager last year, committing to support her education until completion despite her family residing in the Permatang Pauh constituency. - Mkini
