Syerleena: Jokes online no excuse for offensive remarks by leaders
Bukit Bendera MP Syerleena Abdul Rashid said today that political leaders cannot defend offensive public remarks by pointing to jokes circulating online. She was responding to Sepang Umno chief Noorazli Said's suggestion that his joke at the Umno General Assembly was based on a widely shared YouTube video, and said the 'speak first, apologise later' culture must end.
