Akmal pertahan gelar Teresa Kok ‘nyonya tua’, sebut faktor usia
Bekas menteri Khalid Samad bagaimanapun berkata, ketua Pemuda Umno itu tidak perlu guna bahasa kasar sedemikian.
In a dispute over the term "nyonya tua" used by Umno Youth Leader Akmal Saleh to describe Pakatan Harapan MP Teresa Kok, both sides have presented their viewpoints. Akmal defended his comments, stating that they were politically strong but reasonable, given his supporters are predominantly Umno members with the same political stance.
He denied any intention to defame, emphasizing that his focus was on the practical implications of mandating halal certification for restaurants and certain food businesses. On the other hand, Kok argued that her remarks were merely a concern about the feasibility of implementing halal certification, not the religion itself or the certification process.
The controversy gained significant traction, with the TikTok video amassing nearly 850,000 views and generating 9,157 shares as of July 22. The case is set for a final argument on September 21 before Judge Isa Aziz Ibrahim.
