GE 15 KICK HIM OUT
NIBONG TEBAL – Several impoverished families who put up white flags outside their village houses at the Transkrian Estate near here found themselves in a tiff with a representative of Sg Acheh assemblyman Zulkifli Ibrahim’s office, who allegedly berated them for doing so.
Deputy Chief Minister II P. Ramasamy, who is also Prai assemblyman, said some 40 families had raised white flags at their homes to draw the attention of Zulkifli, who is the local legislative rep, and the public.
He said they resorted to such a move as they are unable to face financial difficulties arising from the lockdown.
He alleged that the representative from Zulikifli’s office instead showed up to chide the families.
“Zulkifli, who had defected from PKR to join Bersatu, was annoyed, and he sent a representative to scold the families, but he was told to leave the estate,” said Ramasamy.
Some of the villagers among 40 families in the estate who raised white flags at their homes to draw the attention of their local representative.
In a social media post, Ramasamy said that his own team will distribute food baskets to the 40 families later today.
