SANDAKAN – Chaos erupted during a Warisan campaign in Kg Sundang Laut, Batu Sapi when a gate crasher started to shout “Hidup GRS!” on stage.
Datuk Akbar Khan, father of GRS’ Batu Sapi candidate Khairul Firdaus, suddenly rushed on stage and loudly chanted “Hidup GRS!” before some 1,000 people.
This was right after Karamunting Warisan representative George Hiew’s speech, during which he said “Undi Warisan!”
This caused a public stir as Akbar received a loud “boo” from the crowd, as several Warisan members hurriedly removed him from the scene.
However, no one was hurt in the incident, and the emcee urged Warisan supporters to remain calm and ignore Akbar.
Akbar was seen at the function with two men before Warisan president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal arrived.
Warisan’s Batu Sapi candidate Alias Sani, who is also Sekong assemblyman, later told reporters that his party has a police permit for the event, and Akbar’s action could be construed as an offence.
He said he will take legal action against Akbar as well as lodging a police report on the incident.– The Vibes, November 8, 2022
