Threads user apologises for doctored photo of PN man in bridal gown
KUALA LUMPUR: A Threads user has apologised to Hulu Terengganu member of parliament Datuk Rosol Wahid for posting a doctored image of the Perikatan Nasional leader.
In Kuala Lumpur, a Threads user named Nur Mushawwir Hrsikesa Thaitchana Muruthi has apologized for sharing a manipulated photo of Kuala Lumpur MP Datuk Rosol Wahid. Nur Mushawwir, an assistant director at the Seberang Perai City Council's Landscape Department, also took down the image. He expressed regret for the post and clarified that the photo was an artificial intelligence (AI) edit created for comedic purposes, not a genuine photograph or representation of an event.
Nur Mushawwir admitted that the post might have caused confusion and stressed that he is no longer the Penang PKR Youth vice-chief, so his social media activity should not be associated with that position. Yesterday, Rosol had demanded an apology from Nur Mushawwir, asking through his law firm Siddiq Azani & Co for the image to be removed within 48 hours, along with an unconditional apology and a pledge not to repeat the defamatory statements.
