I get this news from night news report on AEC channel. According to the news, both party intended to use him as propaganda for spreading each others political strength. How can this be? Well it all start from his return journey from China after winning the silver medal for Malaysia.
He was intercepted with a time arrangement by the members of the central government. He used to be spending his time with his family and possibly having a vacation in Bali (that’s what I heard from the news) after being apart from them for few weeks and worse he was under great pressure before and after the match.
But everything had changed once he disboarded the plane in Penang. He’s now blocked from his family. Perhaps preparing for a great advertisment for the side that puppeted him. Pls, give him a break, he’s an athlete, not a tools for propagandaes.
