About a week ago, on 16 October, former youth minister Syed Saddiq was giving a speech in Muar when he got heckled by a group of “mat motor”.
It seems that they are back, and this time with a vengeance as they recently showed up unannounced once again to yet another MUDA event in Muar, Johor.
In a series of videos that have been circulating on social media, a bunch of hecklers could be seen outside the premises creating a huge fuss.
As shared by MUDA’s Twitter account, “Still not done yet. Why always provoke MUDA? This is a private event. We are not disturbing anyone. We are not looking for a fight.”
“You interrupt people’s ceremonies, throw fireworks, water bottles and cause damage to people’s cars and properties.”
Tak habis-habis lagi.
Kenapa asyik provoke MUDA?
Ini majlis tertutup.
Kami tak kacau sesiapa. Kami tak cari gaduh.
Dah lah buat kacau majlis orang, baling mercun, baling botol air, rosakkan kereta orang dan harta benda awam.
Kenapa takut dengan @SyedSaddiq? pic.twitter.com/fbIDfyJTlB

Syed Saddiq has also shared his side of things and said, “I was only hosting a dinner event. Why the need for provocation again? I didn’t do anything. When those from MUDA asked where they came from, they started becoming violent.”
“Throwing water bottles, fireworks and damaging the cars of guests. Thank you to the PDRM officers who came to help,” he added.
Saya adakan majlis makan malam sahaja.
Kenapa perlu ada provokasi lagi?
Bukan saya buat apa-apa pun.
Bila ahli MUDA tanya, “datang dari mana?”, mereka mula mengganas.
Baling botol, baling mercun, rosakkan kereta tetamu.
Terima kasih banyak-banyak abang PDRM tolong . pic.twitter.com/OOeMm6KmSV

Among the casualties was MUDA co-founder Lim Wei Jiet whose Honda City car was dented by the hecklers.
Meanwhile, Johor MUDA chief Azrol Rahani said the commotion started at 9:30pm where a group of 30 masked youths with black hooded sweatshirts, attempted to force their way into the banquet hall.
He said the group acted in a provocative manner where they shouted at the organisers, asking them to stop and leave the venue.
“The provocateurs were difficult to identify as they refused to reveal their faces. They then started to throw plastic bottles, shoved MUDA volunteers and members, light firecrackers as well as kicked and damaged parked vehicles before fleeing the scene,” said Azrol.
Azrol added that the organisers managed to take down the registration numbers of the cars used by the group.
“We will again lodge a police report and provide details and evidence that we have to assist investigations. The mastermind of such dirty politics must be caught! This is a democratic country.”
We hope that the perpetrators get caught following the incident. Hopefully this does not become a regular occurence.
