DAP Johor chief Liew Chin Tong has taken aim at the Election Commission taking down a billboard poster featuring an image of Rosmah Mansor, asking if it has the added responsibility of protecting the wife of caretaker prime minister Najib Abdul Razak.
In a Facebook post yesterday, he said authorities wanting to take down a billboard which says “A vote for Wee Ka Siong is a vote for Najib and Rosmah” in Ayer Hitam, where he is set to face off against the MCA deputy president.
“EC wants to take down a poster which says a vote for Wee Ka Siong is a vote for Najib and Rosmah on the basis that Rosmah is not a candidate.
“It is not known whether the EC has an added responsibility of protecting Rosmah,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
Last week, the EC announced new regulations for campaign materials, which among others states that only the images of the party president and deputy can appear alongside that of the candidate.
Today, he took to Facebook to criticise the EC for apparent double standards, pointing to an MCA billboard featuring an image of China president Xi Jinping.
“Out stand is clear. The photo has no negative impact towards Najib and Rosmah.
“Peraturan tambahan (added regulations of the) EC has no force of law. We have not breached any law. The returning officer must explain the reason to remove (the poster).
“Double standards, MCA is allowed to put Xi Jin Ping photo,” he wrote.
