  "summary": "Political cartoonist Zunar has criticized PAS supporters for allegedly stealing and altering his cartoon related to the Tabung Haji Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI). Zunar claims that the cartoon was first published last week on social media before being picked up, modified, and reposted by a Facebook account named \"PAS PN Seluruh Malaysia.\" The cartoonist expressed puzzlement over the conduct of those behind the post and questioned the teachings of PAS that allow members to use another person's work without consent. This is not the first instance of Zunar's cartoons being taken and altered by individuals associated with PAS; in a previous case, Zunar reported that a cartoon of his was modified and uploaded by PAS Melaka leader Azmi Haji Ali, leading to the matter being reported to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and now before the courts for further proceedings.",
