PETALING JAYA: Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has thrown his support behind Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh, who faced criticism after being photographed wearing a headscarf when visiting a mosque in Kuala Lumpur recently.

In a Facebook post, Syed Saddiq defended the “great, patriotic Malaysian and even greater friend” from the attacks she had received since her visit.

“The past few days have been tough on Hannah.

“On one hand, she has been labelled an ultra-Christian who wants to convert Muslims. On the other, she is being called a Chinese without a backbone who wants to conform to  Muslim norms.

“In my many, many conversations with Hannah, I have never once felt that she wanted to convert me to Christianity, nor have I felt that she’s a conformist.
