KUALA LUMPUR – Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has taken on a bizarre campaign to raise funds to purchase laptops for impoverished or poor families in his constituency – to go bald.
The independent lawmaker posted on his Twitter today that if he manages to raise RM200,000 in five days under his “1 Family, 1 Laptop” programme, he will shave his head.
“If I can reach my target to raise funds for 1 Family, 1 Laptop for the people of Muar, I will shave my head bald. BotakChallenge for the people of Muar,” he said in a TikTok video shared on his Twitter account.
He added that previously it was easy for him to raise funds when he was still in the federal government.
“I will do whatever it takes to help the underprivileged in my constituency.”
However, since he was booted from office after the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan administration in February, Syed Saddiq said funds for his constituency have been stripped and he finds it challenging to raise funds to serve his constituents. – The Vibes, December 26, 2020
