Steven Sim fired back at a political rival who showed up at his empty office yesterday. The Bukit Mertajam MP slammed the PAS leader for trying to score cheap political points. Sim had closed his service center because his grandfather died and the family held funeral services. His staff posted clear notices about the closure and left emergency contact numbers for people who needed help. The politician accused his opponent of either being unable to read or deliberately stirring up trouble.
Zaharudin Muhammad wanted to deliver legal papers demanding 1.5 million ringgit for defamation claims. The PAS chief tried twice to find Sim at his constituency office but found locked doors. Sim says no legal documents appeared at his workplace even after reopening. The DAP leader challenged his accuser to take their fight to court instead of playing games.
Their feud started over comments about a Chinese general getting promoted in the Malaysian military. Lieutenant-general Johnny Lim became the first ethnic Chinese officer to reach such high rank. Zaharudin made controversial social media posts suggesting Malaysia might have a Chinese prime minister decades from today. He compared immigration policies to Palestinian settlement issues before deleting his posts. PAS party leaders distanced themselves from their member's remarks about the historic military promotion.
