Netizens claim Najib's Pekan crowd pic doctored


Netizens have claimed that a photograph published by the New Straits Times had been doctored to make the crowd at Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s gathering in Pekan last Sunday to appear bigger in numbers.

The alleged doctored photograph, which had exact duplicates of the crowd in the background, had began circulating on Facebook since Sunday.

The photograph had also caught the attention of prominent bloggers including top pro-Pakatan Rakyat blogger Milosuam, who mockingly explained that the picture was a case of a supernatural occurrence.

“Open your eyes and try to pay attention, there are at least ten ghosts that appeared behind Najib,” he jibed, in reference to the alleged duplicated crowd.

Meanwhile, prominent graphic designer Kukubesi encouraged the graphic artist behind the photograph to take lessons from him.

“They can join my editing classes so they can edit better,” he quipped.

Kukubesi had previously criticised the initial Merdeka day logo produced by the Information Ministry which was deemed too mediocre.

The photograph, which was published alongside a news story entitled ‘Najib: United front crucial for Umno’s success in polls’ on the New Straits Times’ website, had since been removed. 

The story claimed a total of 15,000 people were present at Najib’s Pekan event last Sunday.

Attempts to contact New Straits Times Press (NSTP) group managing editor Abdul Jalil Hamid were unsuccessful and a text message has gone unanswered.
