Penang PAS Youth has urged Jelutong Member of Parliament, Jeff Ooi Chuan Aun to issue a public apology to the family of the late Datuk Dr Haron Din.

This followed the DAP leader's insult over the death of the PAS leader yesterday with his posting, "Adios Haron Din. Let there be peace" on his Twitter account.

Penang PAS Youth leader Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamuddin said Ooi's actions had tainted his reputation as an MP as he should be solving the people's problems and not insulting people who had died.

"Even more disappointing is that Jeff Ooi blocked the Twitter comment of Jelutong PAS member, Mustaqim, who asked him to clarify is comment.

Ooi said the images used by Sinar Harian were from dubious sources which had been manipulated.
