Far from the floodwaters of Penang which claimed seven lives, MCA and DAP's keyboard warriors are waging a propaganda war on social media.

DAP supporters had posted a photograph of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng on the ground for 25 hours after disaster struck on Nov 4.

“Our CM did not rest at all, don't overwork and remember to take rest. Bravo CM!” read the Chinese-language caption.

Then came another photograph depicting MCA deputy president Wee Ka Siong with other leaders and volunteers holding a water hose and cleaning a building floor.
