In a now-deleted Twitter post, Annuar Musa (right) said he and his wife visited Pak Lah at his residence in Kuala Lumpur.
PETALING JAYA: Federal territories minister Annuar Musa has become the subject of ridicule and anger among netizens after he posted on social media that he had paid a visit to former prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi at his house and had lunch with him today.
Visiting is not allowed under the current lockdown SOPs.
Further, Kuala Lumpur is still under Phase 1 of the national recovery plan (NRP). Under this phase, social activities such as gatherings and visiting are not allowed, unless for emergency purposes.
In a now-deleted Twitter post, Annuar said he and his wife visited the former prime minister, better known as Pak Lah, at his residence in Kuala Lumpur.
The Ketereh MP added that they spent two hours together and even had lunch cooked by Pak Lah’s wife, Jeanne Abdullah.
Among others, Twitter users criticised Annuar for allegedly flouting the SOPs and doing things that ordinary Malaysians are barred from doing.
Twitter user @ForABetterMy wrote: “I thought we cannot visit houses? I haven’t seen my family in months. I guess if ministers (can) do that, we can do (it), too.”
Another user @khairzawawi said: “Just resign.”
Aziz@MrFocus said: “It’s okay even if you sleep there. If we visit, we are caught. Damn!”

I think people may need to cut him some slack.
ReplyDeleteIf what I hear is correct, Pak Lah's condition is near the End. Not wrong to visit him.
If anyone has loved ones in such condition, do go to the nearest police station to apply for permission to travel to visit them.
I believe it will be granted.
