Pejuang dug out a protest from over a decade ago, where demonstrators stuffed “kangkung” (water spinach) into the mouth of a replica of then prime minister Najib Abdul Razak - an act that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim defended at the time.

This referred to a 2014 flash mob, which infuriated Umno leaders, led by PKR’s Machang Bubuk assemblyperson Lee Khai Loon, where “kangkung” was used as a symbol to protest rising living costs.
