As Malaysians rally together to face current uncertain political circumstances, familiar faces such as controversial Malaysian political graphic designer, Fahmi Reza are becoming more active in their advocacy.
Recently, the outspoken activist was reported on TikTok for a livestream he did educating Malaysians about the basics of Parliament, voting and the Malaysian government.
His LIVE video allegedly received a “violation warning” and was “flagged for misinformation.”
Purely educational
Consequently, Malaysians were puzzled and upset at the incident because they thought the livestream’s contents were rather neutral and non-provocative.
“Don’t stop educating yourself so that you can make an informed decision when the time comes for you to vote. I’m not here to tell you who to vote.”
Many who viewed the livestream claimed that Fahmi only touched on subject matter that are in the national History syllabus as well as in General Studies.
They found the knowledge shared very useful as it is relevant to Malaysians’ circumstances today of having to decide who to vote for in the upcoming general election.
“As a first time voter, I learned a lot from his live that day,” said a user.
Another commented, “I was watching the livestream. He didn’t even back up any party. He was just teaching some things about Parliament.”
“In the short time that I was watching the livestream, I didn’t notice any political bias. It was purely educational.”
Speculations on the culprit
On the other hand, some netizens speculated on who could be the culprit behind the reporting of the livestream.
“Those who reported must not want the public to be educated before voting. Could it be the #undirosak gang?”
“There are some political parties that always benefit from the ignorance of the people. High political awareness means a loss of votes for them,” said another.
May the truth and democracy prevail.
