Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh has slammed former BN strategic communications deputy director Eric See-To for allegedly insulting the Quran.

Akmal’s threat to lodge police reports against See-To stemmed from the latter’s posting earlier today, in which he took issue with the word “lighad,” as used by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in his Budget 2027 speech yesterday.

In a Facebook post on the “unique words” used by Anwar during his tabling of the federal budget in Parliament, See-To mentioned in the comments section that while he has no idea what the word means, the list of phrases did not include the term “liwat” (sodomy or anal sex).

He had also poked fun at Anwar’s use of the word “pranata” (social institution), saying: “Is pranata the same as Planta (margerine)?”
