FORMER Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) Major Zaidi Ahmad, who was slapped at a demonstration outside a mosque earlier today, said he only wanted to ask the leader of the protest to explain his accusation against the Penang government.

Zaidi, who is Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng's information officer, said the protest leader had accused the state government of meddling in fatwa matters during the demonstration.

So he approached the leader, Jalinan Muslimin Pulau Pinang chairman Mohamed Hafiz Mohamed Nordin, and asked which fatwa (Islamic edict) the state had allegedly meddled with.

"He was giving a ceramah, accused the state of 'menghalang fatwa' (blocking the edicts). I asked him which edict he meant. He could not answer.

Next if see the idiot below who slap the honorable Mejar Zaidi, please free to slap him as he needs to know that he too can be slapped

"His supporter immediately slapped me," he told The Malaysian Insight.

Relating the incident that happened outside the Simpang Enam mosque near Komtar after Friday prayers today, Zaidi said the police, including some special branch officers, stepped in to prevent the incident from escalating.

He said he was asked to leave but he wanted to stay on to listen to the ceramah.

"There was only a handful of supporters. The rest were mostly members of the public, who stood and watched.

"The protesters brought placards with anti-DAP messages. They called for the fall of DAP," he said.

DAP leads the Pakatan Harapan administration in Penang. Lim, who is DAP secretary-general, was also the target of the protest.

"They said the chief minister cannot be allowed to attend buka puasa events, unless he converts to Islam. That is not right," he said.

Zaidi said he waited until the protest ended to confront Hafiz again to repeat his question.

"He still refused to answer. Whatever issue he had with the state, he could always contact the state government to talk.

"We can always discuss in a civil manner," said the former fighter jet pilot, who became famous and lauded a hero after he lodged a police report over the indelible ink used in the last general election.

Zaidi said he had no plan to lodge a police report against the protestor who slapped him.

"There is no need. He is a senior citizen past 60," he said.

Asked how he felt and if the assault, which happened a day before the holy month of Ramadan began, had shocked him, he replied: "Biasa la (used to it)."

Hafiz – a personality often featured in Muslim agenda protests – reportedly said Zaidi had provoked his group.

“He touched me, resulting in the others shoving him aside. No one knows what he will do to me if they didn't do so. Anyway, we are looking at lodging a police report over this incident.”

Zaidi's incident today was the latest where people were slapped over disagreements.
