Though the MIC representatives maintained their composure and attempted to respond to the man’s question, it only angered him as he demanded them to leave.

It is believed that the two men were campaigning for their Malaysian Indian Parliament (MIC) candidate, VP Shanmugam, running for the N07 Gadek constituency.

WeirdKaya has reached out to the candidate for a statement on the video. We are yet to receive a response and will update this article accordingly.
