‘Unacceptable’, PM’s aide condemns DBKL officers manhandling Jalan TAR balloon seller

Kamil Munim says no reasons could excuse such behaviour from enforcers, especially in Ramadan and calls for immediate investigation

KUALA LUMPUR – The actions of Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) enforcement officers in manhandling a balloon vendor at Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman (Jalan TAR) are unacceptable, said Kamil Munim, political secretary to Finance Minister and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Describing the act as “deplorable and unjustifiable,” the PKR Youth deputy chief said that no reasoning from the authorities could excuse such behaviour. 

“What is the meaning of fasting and worship during Ramadan if it fails to instil humanity and compassion for those who are less fortunate? Ramadan should reinforce our sense of humanity and elevate our character,” he said in a statement on X. 

He called for an immediate and thorough investigation into the incident while awaiting a full report from the authorities. 

Based on the viral footage, the altercation erupted when DBKL officers attempted to confiscate goods from several unlicensed vendors, including a balloon seller. The vendor refused to surrender the balloons, leading to a scuffle between both parties. 

The video also showed a man, believed to be the vendor, apparently being pinned down while the public tried to interrupt by saying “Dah lah bang” (that’s enough, brother) and “Dia jual belon je” (He is only selling balloons). – March 29, 2025
