NEVER before had Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim been so badly trolled particularly on social media platforms till it warrants his social media administrators to disable comments, particularly those related to his presence at the recent 18th PKR national congress.
Such was the sentiment aired by a few supposedly disgruntled PKR supporters or more specifically the faction of Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli who was ousted in the party’s deputy presidency race by PMX’s daughter, Nurul Izzah Anwar.
“PMX turn off the comment section on his Facebook posts regarding the PKR Congress (he is most popular at FB with 2.7M+ followers),” fumed hafizubai🇵🇸 (@hafizubai1) on X.
“Our PM is refusing to hear people’s voice. Correct me if I’m wrong but did Najib ever do that? Heck even Muhyiddin or Ismail Sabri ever did (that)? Shameful!”
Another furious PKR backer Zaz (@ThIsIs_Zharif) wondered what has PKR become till PMX has to shut down his FB comment section.
“Afraid of the rakyat? Is this how you manage the pulse of the rakyat? A clown party!”
Anwar Ibrahim pun mula tutup komen di Facebook? 😂😂 Keadilan ni dah jadi apa? Takut dengan Rakyat? Macam ni cara kamu uruskan denyut nadi rakyat?
Parti badut! https://t.co/Dzt675EHtM pic.twitter.com/zhRGVqRoxW

The social media-savvy netizen went on further to reveal that the comment section of six FB posts had bed been turned off while querying if “this us the way the Bapa Reformasi evade the people’s anger”?
In an update, Zaz observed that the comment section on PMX’s FB section was disabled from “7.17am to 7.20am” yesterday (May 25) with a check by FocusM revealed that commenting is limited to “only people who have followed this page for more than 24 hours”.
Apart from FB, a few netizens also reported that the comment section on PMX’s Instagram in which he boasts 1.2M followers has also been disabled/limited.
At the end of the day, one PMX fan who has been looking up to him as an idol since young expressed sympathy to the former while stating that “such is the price that he must pay for supporting the foolish Damai (Nurul Izzah’s) team”.
“For the first time, PMX has to close the comment section because 95% of the comments criticised him,” he penned on X.
Aku simpati pd PMX antara idola aku yg aku sokong dari muda. Itulah harga yg perlu dibayar kerana team Damai yg bahalol.
Buat kali pertamanya PMX terpaksa tutup ruang komen krn 95% komen hentam beliau.
