‘YB Hulk’ demands apology over resurfaced altercation video
Bersatu's Pengkalan Batu candidate Norhizam Hassan Baktee says he will not hesitate to take legal action if those responsible fail to comply with his demand.
Pengkalan Batu candidate Norhizam Hassan Baktee has demanded an apology from those who shared an outdated video showing him in a fight with local authority officers. The video, which went viral on the Threads platform, was revealed to be an old recording by Norhizam, also known as "YB Hulk." He has given those responsible 24 hours to issue a public retraction before considering legal action.
The contentious video, which alleged that Norhizam was arguing with officers over the removal of potted plants obstructing his property, has damaged his reputation as he seeks to regain his seat in the upcoming Melaka state election. Norhizam, who left the DAP in 2020, claims the video circulation is a form of psychological warfare, as some parties were concerned about his return in the contest.
His previous tenure as an independent assemblyman, backed by the Umno-led state government, ended in defeat when he lost to BN's Kalsom Noordin in 2021. In the upcoming election, Norhizam will face off against Siti Aisyah Mahmood from BN, Jason Tse-Xi Nathan from Pakatan Harapan, and Goh Han Koon from Bersama.
