The Gunong Semanggol assemblyman said he had demanded an apology from Woo, but that none was forthcoming. Instead, he said DAP continued to defend its youth chief’s actions.

He warned that any failure to act could erode public support for the state government led by Umno and Pakatan Harapan (PH).

“To the Umno-led state government leaders in Perak, like it or not, this is the quality of an exco member from DAP,” he said in a statement.

“If you have any honour, just resign from the exco post because the people are always watching and will judge what happens as a result of such irresponsible behaviour.

“It’s not impossible that the people will reject you over this issue.”

Police recorded Woo’s statement yesterday in connection with the investigation into the allegedly provocative social media post.

Woo had posted the caricature on Facebook alongside a statement in April. It depicted Razman as a clown riding a unicycle on a tightrope, labelling the Perak PAS chief as “raja fitnah” (“the king of slander”).

This was believed to be in reference to the various instances in which Razman had apologised to PH leaders over various accusations he had made against them.

The PAS man has demanded that Woo apologise openly for the “provocative” posting.

However, Woo has stood by his Facebook post, saying it was not a personal attack but satire. He also said the police report stifled freedom of speech.
