KUANTAN: Ketari state assemblyperson Young Syefura Othman recently expressed her disgust on Twitter over certain lewd online comments levelled against her.
In a series of Twitter posts, the DAP politicians said that ever since she got involved in politics seven years ago, she had often received such nasty comments on her online postings.
Among the lewd comments thrown against Syefura include about her gender and appearance.
“This matter has been getting out of control and their behaviour is getting worse.”
“If I am not executing my responsibilities well as an assemblyperson, you can admonish me about my work but never probe my gender, status and appearance,“ she wrote on her Twitter account yesterday.
“What satisfaction would you get by making such posts and comments? Is it just for laughs and giggles only?” she added.
Syefura then proceeded to post a photo of one of the commentator’s family, asking how he would feel if the same was done to his daughters and sisters.
The individual removed the posting which led Syefura to also delete her post, later explaining that the individual’s family member apologised and requested her to remove her comments.
The Pahang politician then reminded people to always be mindful when making comments on social media.
Syefura is a first-time assemblyperson who was voted into the Pahang state assembly in the 14th General Election.
