At a time when Malaysians are mourning the
passing of Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, a post on Perkasa president Ibrahim
Ali's Facebook page ridiculed the long-serving PAS leader.
Predictably, the post drew an avalanche of criticism.
"My condolences to his family. May Allah bless his soul... His passing is no surprise. He is not healthy and is of old age.
"A lot of people praise him because he is an ulama (cleric) and is known as tok guru (teacher), even though he doesn't help develop Kelantan all that much.
"In
fact, Islam has not developed in Kelantan and hudud law is not
implemented during his lifetime and 20 year reign," says the posting on
Ibrahim's Facebook page.
Too late for retraction
The post, authored last night, attracted more than 2,000 comments, mostly condemnations.
Contacted later, Ibrahim replied by a text message that his Facebook page was not managed by him and the statement had been "dibatal" (cancelled).
It is understood that Ibrahim is currently abroad.
Shortly after being contacted, the post on his Facebook page was removed.
At about 1pm, a new post was uploaded expressing just his condolence to Nik Aziz's family and nothing more.
However, the first few comments from readers stated that they have already screen captured the deleted post for posterity.
FB handler to blame?
Yesterday, Agriculture and Agro-based Industries Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob was also caught in a similar Facebook faux pas by posting a purported joint statement with MCA president Liow Tiong Lai.
The
joint statement said he had met Liow and the duo decided to issue a
joint statement to clear the air over the "boycott Chinese businesses"
remark made by Ismail Sabri’s (left).
However, Liow responded immediately to Ismail's posting, saying the statement was issued without his knowledge and that he had not met with Ismail on the matter.
This led a red-faced Ismail to delete the purported joint statement from his Facebook page.
