KUALA LUMPUR — Johor DAP chairman Teo Nie Ching has slammed attempts to tarnish the party ahead of the Johor state election with manipulated photos of its women members wearing the Muslim headscarf.
“There are parties who have deliberately manipulated a poster of Johor DAP’s potential female candidates by making them appear as Muslim women wearing the tudung in a wrong position. The intent is to scare away non-Malay voters, especially the Chinese, from voting for Pakatan Harapan,” she said on Facebook.
She also posted the original poster alongside the manipulated image which has been stamped with the words “AI Edited”.
Teo, who is also Deputy Communications Minister, advised the public not to be influenced by dirty tactics ahead of the Johor election slated for July 11.
“DAP respects all religions, and we understand and are aware that the headscarf as part of Muslim women’s clothing cannot be played with. The dirty tactics of changing the poster pictures are a despicable act that must be rejected,” said the DAP national Women’s chairman.
“Hopefully voters of all races reject this act. Let’s all choose harmony, unity and peace,” she added.
The Johor legislative assembly, which has 56 seats, was dissolved on June 1.
Nomination day ahead of polling will be held on June 27. – June 17, 2026

If the photo is of Hannah Yeoh wearing Muslim headscarf, then it's not fake 😂😂😂
Come now, Hannah Yeoh wore selendang (not a tudung) as a mark of respect when attending an event on mosque grounds.
ReplyDeleteI recall the then Duchess of Cambridge , wife of the heir to the British Crown, Church of England and all, put on a headscarf when visiting the Masjid Negara.
