JOHOR POLLS | Persatuan Patriot Kebangsaan (Patriot), an army veterans group, has criticised the presence of commando veterans donning their trademark green berets to support ex-prime minister Najib Abdul Razak when he hit the Johor polls campaign trail in Simpang Renggam last Sunday.
"There can never be anything more degrading, and demoralising to say the least, to witness these veteran commandos from the nation's elite special forces gathering in unison with a convicted criminal who is labelled in various media reports (local and foreign) as a 'national embarrassment' and a 'plundering idiot'," said Patriot president Mohamed Arshad Raji.
