PETALING JAYA: Not all battles are physical confrontations – some just involve the exchange of rhymes, as demonstrated by Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan and Steven Sim in a friendly competition.
On the occasion of the 66th National Day celebrations, the two Deputy Finance Ministers engaged in a battle of wits using their “pantun” skills.
Both Ahmad and Sim posted a video on X (formerly known as Twitter) where they exchanged “pantuns” with themes of Merdeka (Independence) and unity.
“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 shared the video on his social media accounts.
