COMMENT | One of Amanah’s leaders - Wan Anwar Wan Ibrahim - has urged the government, as Petronas’ owner, to take internal action against the company’s president and group chief executive, Tengku Taufik Tengku Aziz.

Referring to the “champagne shower” incident during the recent Singapore Grand Prix, the aforesaid Amanah leader truly believed that by taking such an action, it would guarantee that similar behaviour would not be repeated in the future.

He also drew comparisons to the controversy surrounding Tourism, Arts, and Culture Minister Tiong King Sing over the serving of alcoholic beverages at an event.

With the greatest respect, I disagree with the aforementioned remarks by Wan Anwar, my own colleague from Amanah.

It is not disputed that, being a Muslim himself, what Tengku Taufik did was clearly against Islamic teachings. There’s no two ways about it.
