TMI - Penang PKR lawmaker under fire for ‘insensitive’ tweet
A Penang lawmaker has been slammed for tweeting remarks deemed insensitive to the family of corporal Raja Aizam Raja Mohd, who was killed in the line of duty yesterday.
Dr Afif Bahardin (pic), who is Seberang Jaya assemblyman and a state executive councillor, yesterday tweeted: "Penjenayah bunuh polis itu tidak menghairankan, tetapi bila polis yang sepatutnya menegakkan undang-undang membunuh tahanan, itu masalah" (It is not surprising for the police to be killed by criminals but when the police, who suppose to uphold the law kill detainees, it is a problem).

A Penang lawmaker has been slammed for tweeting remarks deemed insensitive to the family of corporal Raja Aizam Raja Mohd, who was killed in the line of duty yesterday.

In case you've not been aware, Cpl Raja Aizam was killed by Indon hoodlums in Klang yesterday.
Haven't our politicians been insensitive? Or, have they been insensitively exploitative?
One thing is for sure, our politics have become more and more toxic?
