Publicly funded J-Kom has become unprofessional Madani's cybertrooper—DAP in difficult situation
Deputy Communications Minister Puan Teo Nie Ching and her party DAP have been urged to explain the alleged racial slur used by community communications department chief encik Hisyamuddin Ghazali against two government critics.
Referring to a Facebook post, news portal FMT reported MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said Teo could not remain silent because the department (J-Kom) falls under the Communications Ministry.
“Is this the communications ministry’s official stance? Is this the new standard of the government’s communications? Is public money now being used to pay government communications officials to attack critics with racially charged labels?” Wee asked in a Facebook post today.
Wee also called for answers from DAP as Teo is a DAP leader and chairman of Johor DAP.
“If an opposition party had used such remarks, DAP would speak the loudest about 3R (race, religion and royalty), national unity and racial harmony,” he said. “Why is DAP silent now when such remarks are coming from a newly appointed government official?”
Wee called on Teo and the ministry to state whether disciplinary action would be taken against Hisyamuddin, and whether he would be required to issue a public apology or face dismissal.
He also demanded a guarantee that J-Kom would not be used as a publicly funded “partisan propaganda platform”.
“Malaysia does not need a government communications agency that acts like a racist cybertrooper. If the government is serious about 3R matters, its principles must apply to all, including its own officials,” he said.
In a Facebook post that has since been amended, Hisyamuddin had allegedly referred to businessman Encik Albert Tei and social media influencer Encik Eric See-To as “Cina sesat” and “opposition lackeys”, claiming they had continuously attacked Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
