Free roti canai: Labuan Umno to lodge report
Published on: Friday, October 20, 2017
Labuan: Umno Chairman here Datuk Rozman Isli described as a joke in "bad taste" a notice widely shared on messages applications such as WhatsApp that the party is sponsoring free roti canai at nine Mamak restaurants here.Rozman who is also Member of Parliament said a police report would be lodged as the message was not only fake but confusing and could lead to unnecessary misunderstanding between the outlet operators and those patronising the shop expecting a free meal."Umno never made such an offer. In the first place, it is an insulting offer because roti canai cost merely RM1.50 and is affordable. The message was to ridicule the party and put in bad light," he said.

Wednesday being Deepawali a Hindu festival, many thought the offer could be true and was in conjunction with the festival, only to be embarrassed later.Rozman said the party would not use a messenger service to circulate information and that those receiving such a message should have suspected something was amiss.Stay up-to-date by following Daily Express’s Telegram channel.
