JELI: Bukit Bunga assemblyman Datuk Mohd Adhan Kechik has described the incident where several Umno Youth wing members were barred from delivering aid to flood victims as something that should not happened.
He said Saturday's incident was his first such experience since he became involved in politics.
"I have been involved in politics for more than 40 years. As an Umno leader, l have been going to many flood relief centres to deliver food aid to the victims regardless of whichever political parties they represent.
"On that day (Saturday), as usual l continued with my flood relief mission and the school where the incident happened was the third school l visited.
"At the other two schools, we (Umno) were welcomed by the person in charge there including village heads from Pas," he added.
A video posted by Jeli Umno Youth information chief Wan Mahussin Wan Zain showed him and several others being stopped from entering a flood relief centre there by a man claiming to be the village head. The latter took offence to their political party attire.
The village head told them to leave the supplies outside, then told them that this was to avoid "it going viral".
