JOHOR BARU: The incumbent Tiram assemblyman S. Gopalakrishnan has lashed out at Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (Muda) president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman for allegedly saying that he had never cared for the Indian community in Ulu Tiram, here.
Gopalakrishnan when contacted said that anyone can say what they want, but what proof does Syed Saddiq have to make such a comment openly.
"Anyone can give comments when sitting at a ‘warung’, but what is his proof for saying such things openly like this?" he said when contacted here on Saturday (Feb 5).
Gopalakrishnan, who is also the Johor PKR vice-chairman, added that PKR and Pakatan Harapan, in general, are currently in discussion to allocate seats for Muda for the coming state election.
"I will be waiting for the Pakatan and PKR's stand on this," he added.
Earlier, Syed Saddiq, through his Facebook account, had uploaded several pictures of him meeting with the Indian community in Ulu Tiram.
The caption of the post mentions that the local leaders of the constituents are not giving two cents about the welfare of the people there.
"Chosen by the people, given the allocation, but abdicates responsibility to the people.
"The aid that should have been given to the people did not come. Irresponsible," he said adding that the people of Ulu Tiram had enough and wanted change.
"They wanted leadership that worked for the people.
"Muda will bring changes to Ulu Tiram. We will bring leadership that provides their service to the people," he added.
However, at the time of writing, the post has been deleted.
