Act against those who stamped on pictures of leaders - T'ganu MB

Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman said such action must be curtailed and stern action taken, otherwise it will create an insolent generation.

"The act was deliberately done while we were celebrating our independence and was seen by people in all parts of the world," he told reporters after laying the foundation stone for the construction of a Night Market, here Tuesday.

"I want the authorities to take firm action against such immoral behaviour.

Today, they stamp on the leaders and tomorrow they will stamp on their parents," he said.

Asked about the participation of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad at the illegal rally, he expressed surprise as the former prime minister had opposed street rallies.

Razif said Mahathir was among the most vocal critic of the reformation rallies championed by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim whom he had sacked as deputy prime minister.
