Netizens up in arms over Bung’s ‘Hitler’ tweet


PETALING JAYA: Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin’s tweet saluting Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler when congratulating the German team’s performance in the World Cup semi-finals earned him all-round wrath from netizens. Even the German envoy here found it “distasteful”.

Holger Michael “strongly rejects” the Kinabatangan MP’s tweet in a report, describing it as a “distasteful and unacceptable allusion to the fascist regime of Adolf Hitler”.
