PRO-PAKATAN Harapan X accounts are rallying in support of Minister of Sports Hannah Yeoh amidst controversy surrounding her book, Becoming Hannah.
They say the book is published in 2014 and approved by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the book has been reprinted multiple times, asking why is PAS and UMNO attacking DAP now.
The controversy was sparked by PAS, which called for the banning of the book.
Buku Becoming Hannah diterbitkan pada 2014 dan dapat kelulusan KDN. Buku ini telah diulang cetak banyak kali.
Kalau Bersatu nak haramkan buku ini, kenapa tak lakukan semasa Muhyiddin jadi PM? Bersatu ada masa 33 bulan untuk haramkan buku ini tapi tak buat pun.
Be? Be? Bengap! https://t.co/mmD1SuxNoi

However, critics argued that if Becoming Hannah: A Personal Journey were to be banned, it should have been done during Muhyiddin Yassin’s tenure as Prime Minister, when Bersatu had a 33-month period to take such action but chose not to.
Police have confirmed receiving seven reports related to Hannah Yeoh. These reports were filed at the Dang Wangi District Police Headquarters recently.
Dang Wangi District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman stated that the reports are still under preliminary investigation.
Previously, several non-governmental organisations filed police reports urging the Home Ministry to ban Yeoh’s book, claiming it posed a threat to national security.
Untuk yang tak faham, sini saya rumuskan isu ini:
1. Buku diterbitkan 2014, tak pernah diharamkan zaman BN, PH, PN dan kini zaman Madani.
2. Dalam buku Hanayo tulis dia ‘duta Tuhan’ dari konteks seorang penganut Kristian, istilah ‘duta Tuhan’ ni selalu digunakan dalam agama… https://t.co/SNXQpWAMmO

In response, Yeoh filed her own police report, disputing allegations that she intended to convert Muslims or turn Malaysia into a Christian nation.
Still on X, another user explained the situation regarding the attacks against Hannah.
The issue revolves around the book which was never banned during the BN, PH, or PN administrations, nor in the current Madani government.
“In the book, Hannah Yeoh refers to herself as a ‘Duta Tuhan’ (Ambassador of God), a term commonly used in Christianity, referencing biblical passages like 2 Corinthians 5:11 or 5:20,” the user says.
Musa Hassan used the term out of context, alleging that Yeoh intended to turn Malaysia into a Christian nation.
Yeoh filed a defamation suit against Musa, but the court ruled that there was no basis, as the term ‘Duta Tuhan’ was present in her book, the user explained. —Dec 29, 2024
