Umno Youth Boss Told Not To Defend Pmx In Sabah S Caricature Torching Incident As What Goes Around Comes Around

---

IT is worrisome that both courtesy and respect accorded to Prime Minister Datuk Sei Anwar are thinning by the day in tandem with the widening trust deficit gap in his Madani administration.
After having poured their heart out on the Facebook page of Your Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia over the weekend with an appeal “to save Malaysia”, a similar trend is detected on the Facebook page of UMNO Youth chief Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh.

In unison, the fanbase of the firebrand Merlimau state assemblyman swamped his post to counter him after he defended PMX by ticking off the Gempur Rasuah Sabah 2.0 rally protestors who torched the latter’s caricature bearing the slogan “Madani: Protector of Sabah’s Corrupt”.
“You should be brave in your struggle but not stupid and rude!! (referring to the torching of PMX’s caricature),” the Russia-trained medical doctor had penned on his Facebook page which has garnered 5.8K likes, 1.8K comments and 251 shares at the time of writing.
“Being brave doesn’t mean we have to lose our manners as humans. To my brother undergraduate who feels brave because he managed to burn PMX’s caricature, you are actually a coward and stupid person.”

This is when a commenter advised the Melaka Rural Development, Agriculture and Food Security EXCO not to waste his time arranging to meet up with the young minds who have yet to be tested with positions and power.
“Instead, you should confront PMX who’re always lying to the rakyat. Numerous promises have been made but the fact is not a single proof that PMX has fulfilled any of the promises made before. ZERO!”

Another commenter said he was not surprised as “what’s happening these days is passed down from the time when PH (Pakatan Harapan) was in the opposition”.
“Just face it for you did likewise to BN (Barisan Nasional), right? ” he teased while a fellow commenter displayed an old image purportedly of BERSIH 4 protestors in 2015 sleeping on the streets of Kuala Lumpur with a question “Is this civilised?”

Pointing to the English idiom “you reap what you sow”, one commenter stated that “this is the price that must be paid when you helm of the government yet unable to implement what you’ve promised when you’re outside the government”.
Another contended that the notion of kepimpinan melalui teladan (leadership by example) is true simply because “what u give u get back  [sic]”.

One presumably UMNO loyalist attested that this was why incarcerated former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his team “had never issued any statement when they’re provoked by the opposition even with actions that were so despicable and rude, including destroying of public property”.

Suffice to conclude that this could be the first time or a rarity that the nationalistic/rightist UMNO Youth leader is besieged with comments that not only went against his statement or proposal but instead supported/defended his alleged perpetrators (the undergraduate protestors).
