How does Liow explain wearing the AMK shirt purchased at a charity sale?

Question

Accepted Answer

Liow says the AMK shirt was bought at a public charity fundraising sale and should not be taken as proof of PKR membership

Liow explains that the AMK shirt he was photographed wearing was purchased during a charity fundraising sale held at an event attended by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He says buying and wearing a uniform sold at a public fundraising event should not be directly interpreted as joining a political party, nor used to infer a person’s political identity or political stance.
The shirt was obtained through a charity fundraising sale at a public event
Liow says he bought the Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) shirt at an event where a charity fundraising sale was held. He adds that the event was attended by Anwar, which is why his photograph showed him standing close to the Prime Minister.
Wearing a shirt from a public fundraising sale is not proof of party membership
Liow argues that purchasing and wearing a uniform sold at a public fundraising event should not be taken as evidence of joining a political party. He also says a shirt distributed at a public event should not be used as a basis to infer anyone’s political identity.
The viral photograph should not be treated as evidence of political affiliation or special access
Liow rejects the idea that his presence near Anwar indicates he received special treatment or had a political identity. He says that if a photograph taken at a public event is treated as enough to suggest political affiliation or special privilege, it would be unfair and inconsistent with the facts.
He links the dispute to questions raised by MPs and a party membership clarification
The controversy followed questions from MPs about how Liow was photographed close to Anwar and whether he had access to a private room. PKR secretary-general Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh later clarified that Liow is not a member of the party, saying checks through the party’s membership system found he had never registered or submitted an application.
