PETALING JAYA: DAP National Vice Chairman Syahredzan Johan and DAP National Assistant Publicity Secretary Young Syefura Othman will take legal action over a Facebook post uploaded by Kuala Sentul assemblyman, Datuk Jasri Jamaludin, on Tuesday.
Both Syahredzan and Syefura, who are also Bangi and Bentong MPs respectively, expressed disappointment over the assemblyman’s actions.
“Yesterday (Tuesday, (April 30), the Perikatan Nasional assemblyman uploaded a post on his Facebook page containing defamatory remarks about us.
“Among other things, he accused us of being ‘traitors to the race’ and included other defamatory comments.
“We take this matter seriously, as we have been constantly slandered by PN supporters online. We did not expect this kind of behaviour to be mirrored by their leaders as well, like this assemblyman,” they stated in a Facebook post on Wednesday (April 30).
They also expressed disappointment that a Muslim elected representative from Pahang would resort to such defamation right after the month of Syawal.
“We will be seeking legal advice and will initiate legal proceedings against him.
“We also urge all PN leaders and elected representatives to be more mindful of their words.”
