Hisham: Cutting out Dr M's face from billboard was not right


KAHANG: Sembrong MP Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein has criticised enforcement officers who cut out the face of Pakatan Harapan chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad from a billboard in Ayer Hitam.

However, it is not ascertained if the enforcement officers are from the local council or the Election Commission (EC).

"I don't agree and I don't like what the enforcement officers have done.

"There are many ways to enforce the rules and regulations, but it is not proper to cut out the face of Dr Mahathir from the billboard," he told reporters during his visit to Kampung Orang Asli in Kahang.

"If the billboard is not right, bring it down, not cut the photos from the billboard.

"Even if rules were broken, what they did is not correct. I do not want to see such acts by enforcement officers whether it is for candidates from our party or the Opposition," he said.
