00:00Rafizi Romney should practice humility.
00:05Two political analysts said this after the PKR Deputy President was caught on camera
00:10reacting condescendingly to his critics while campaigning ahead of the Sungai Bakar by-election
00:14last Saturday.
00:16On the final day of the Sungai Bakar campaign, Rafizi lashed out at critics who had questioned
00:21him about his formulas and labelled them balul and bodoh.
00:26They said the economy minister should adopt a humbler approach to regain public trust.
00:31Wong Chin Huat, a political scientist at Sunway University, said Rafizi must show respect
00:36to the public and refrain from using derogatory terms, especially since he is a minister.
00:42He said Rafizi should apologise for his conduct and change his behaviour, not only during
00:47campaigns but in his daily interactions.
00:50Meanwhile Asma Tayib of University Science Malaysia said Rafizi's comments were inappropriate
00:55especially when addressing people in the Malay heartlands.
00:58He said making condescending remarks would not help bridge the trust deficit between
01:02the Medani government and the Malays.
