PKR’s defeated celebs Afdlin, Altimet, Hans clap back at pundits

KUALA LUMPUR – PKR’s celebrity politicians have hit back at observers’ assessments of their defeat in the party’s recent election.

Film stars Datuk Afdlin Shauki Aksan and Datuk Hans Isaac, and musician Altimet refuted analysts’ suggestions that PKR members prefer party leaders with a proven track record, instead of individuals with celebrity status.

Responding to the criticisms, Afdlin signalled that celebrity politicians in the polls have been underestimated and stigmatised to a certain degree.

The actor and director also took a shot at the credibility of the seasoned political observers, as well as journalists.

“If we had better political analysts, maybe our country would have better politicians!” he told The Vibes.
