A Malaysian living in Melbourne, Australia took advantage of a Valentine’s Day campaign by a local telco to honour recently deceased PAS spiritual leader Nik Aziz Nik Mat through an electronic billboard in the city.

The message ‘Melbourne Loves TGNA’ was displayed on the 26 metre billboard on telco Telstra’s building at Bourke Street on Feb 14.

TGNA refers to 'Tuan Guru Nik Aziz' an honorific the veteran politician was given by supporters.

The company allows the public to display declarations of love on the billboard every Valentine’s Day by sending text messages to the company.

"People always send declarations of love on Valentine’s Day but my friends and I chose to use this day to show our love for tuan guru Nik Aziz," the Malaysian student who declined to be named told Malaysiakini .

The picture of the billboard with the message is now viral on social media.

In Nik Aziz's home turf of Kota Bharu, Kelantan, a group of youths yesterday held an anti-Valentine's Day demonstration in his honour.

Nik Aziz died last Thursday at the age of 84 after battling prostate cancer.

Tens of thousands flocked to his home at Kampung Pulau Melaka, Kota Bharu to pay final respects on Friday.
