PETALING JAYA: Not all battles are physical confrontations – some just involve the exchange of rhymes, as displayed by Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan and Steven Sim.
In conjunction with the 66th National Day celebrations, the two Deputy Finance Ministers engaged in a battle of wits using their "pantun" skills.
On X (formerly known as Twitter), Ahmad and Sim posted a video of them engaging in an exchange of "pantuns" with Merdeka and unity themes.
“Thank you for this one-minute, 11-second video YB Steven Sim DFM2. Together we assist #PMX in preparing #Belanjawan2024 & all other matters to ensure we help the #rakyat, the country recovers economically, politically, socially & culturally. Happy National Day. Merdeka #MalaysiaMadani,” Ahmad Maslan said in an X post on Thursday (Aug 31).
Sim also posted the video on his social media accounts.
