Kota Kinabalu:
PBS candidate for the Api-Api seat, Yee Moh Chai, today lodged a police report after a campaign poster was doctored to depict him wearing a turban, with an Islamic slogan, and then spread on social media. He said the picture was manipulated by certain parties with the intention of harming his reputation. “I believe the culprit edited the picture to play on sensitive religious and racial sentiments, which can disrupt the peace and harmony here.

“We worry that the picture manipulated by irresponsible parties will give the impression that I am intentionally mocking the beliefs of other faiths,” he said in a statement today.
