PETALING JAYA: Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman's (pic) endearing attempt to break the barrier by asking people to call him "bro" instead of "Yang Berhormat" has backfired.

Soon after his press officer Numan Afifi Saadan was forced to resign due to his lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) activism, #dontbrome (don't call me bro) started to trend on Twitter in retaliation of Syed Saddiq's alleged failure to defend Numan.
