PJ mall takes down CNY wish for Najib to ‘jatuh longkang’
…

…

The management of Atria Shopping Gallery in Petaling Jaya took down a Chinese New Year wish put up by its patrons, which it said could be “defamatory” against Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

The notes put up as part of the mall’s ‘Wishing Cards’ programme included wishes that the PM would step down or that he and his wife Rosmah Mansor would “jatuh longkang” (fall into a drain).

“It is not enough for Najib to fall into the drain. Najib and Rosmah must fall into the drain,” the note said.

Pictures of the notes are now being circulated online.

“It has come to the attention of the management of Atria Shopping Gallery that a few persons have penned politically-sensitive and possibly, defamatory statements on the wishing cards, which were set up by Atria Shopping Gallery in the public concourse for their shoppers.

“The management wants to make clear to all, that these opinions and views expressed on the Atria Wishing Cards are the personal opinions of the persons who penned the notes and do not reflect the opinions or views of Atrie Shopping Gallery or management,” the management said on the mall’s Facebook page.

“Atria Shopping Gallery and its management do not endorse nor encourage the posting of such statements,” it said.
…
A similar activity was carried out by Nu Sentral mall in Kuala Lumpur, where shoppers write their Chinese New Year wishes and hang them on a blossoming plum tree.

A picture of one note from Nu Sentral that is circulating online states: “Undur Najib.”

The notes were seen as “politically sensitive and possibly defamatory statements”.

Pictures of PM Najib Razak-related notes on the “wishing tree” at Atria Shopping Gallery have surfaced on social media early today, 2 February. Apparently, some patrons wrote down their wish for Najib to step down as prime minister.

On the same day, hours later, the Management of Atria Shopping Gallery posted on its Facebook page saying that the wishing tree has been removed seeing that certain patrons have penned notes that were deemed as “politically sensitive and possibly defamatory”.

The wishing tree was set up at the Ground Floor, Centre Court area in Atria Shopping Gallery in conjunction of the mall’s Chinese New Year campaign since 14 January。

These Najib-related notes were not just limited to Atria Shopping Gallery. Apparently, another photo with a penned note that reads “Undur Najib” was spotted at Nu Sentral, a shopping mall in Klang Valley.
