JOHOR BAHRU: Johor DAP yesterday apologised to Sultan Ibrahim Almarhum Sultan Iskandar of Johor over an impolite statement by its member and Pontian district councillor Mohamad Kamarul Ariffin Harris Fadzillah towards the Institution of the Constitutional Monarchy on Facebook three days ago. Its secretary Tan Hong Pin said DAP viewed seriously the uncouth manner in which the statement was made.
“As a party member and councillor, he should have prioritised good manners and politeness and need to maintain discipline in his language,’’ he said in a statement here.
He said, although DAP was firm on the supremacy of the constitution and simultaneously champion freedom of speech, the principle and struggle should not be used as an excuse to make a statement without a feeling of responsibility. – Bernama
