PAKATAN Harapan (PH) supporters have hit out at Bersatu Youth chief Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal who is seemingly up in arms over what he claimed to be a display of China’s military might in Malaysia.
In so doing, he has picked a fight with Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek who recently refuted that those who stepped foot into Chung Ling Private High School in Penang recently were military personnel but only “lecturers and students” from China’s Naval University of Engineering.
Following this, the Machang MP accused Fadhlina who is also the PKR Women’s wing chief of acting as “DAP’s spokesman” as “never before in any international student programme that the students turn up en masse wearing military uniforms, board navy ships and singing foreign patriotic songs”.

This is when a commenter pointed out to Wan Fayhsal where his own sense of patriotism was when he uploaded a social media post of him representing Bersatu to attend the online supreme meeting of world parties with the Communist Party of China (CPC) chaired by its secretary-general Xi Jinping on March 15 last year.
Beyond that Bersatu/Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin and a few PN parliamentarians had also personally met up with Liu Jianchao who is the International Department of the CPC Central Committee Minister on March 29 this year.

Another commenter even listed down previous berthing/stop-overs of foreign naval vessels at various Malaysian ports from as far back as 2010 for Wan Fayhsal’s perusal.
In fact, Wan Fayhsal’s hypocrisy or selective hammering of a non-issue which is akin to making a mountain out of a molehill solely for political mileage is most regrettable as “this doesn’t help to accelerate economic growth nor resolve woes of sorts faced by the people”.
Doubtlessly, many commenters trolled him as being foolish.
Interestingly, in another social media post by a social media influencer who claims “to appreciate diversity”, some commenters wondered “why there was no fuss in waving Palestinian flags”. – Oct 12, 2024
It would be better to have flags of both countries in programs like this.
Especially when we involve students who need to learn and appreciate patriotism. pic.twitter.com/rgzGkIBpGk
