The PAS Chief of Perak, Haji Razman Zakaria, has issued a public apology following an inaccurate statement he made about Hannah Yeoh , the Minister of Youth and Sports. Razman mistakenly claimed that Hannah Yeoh was the daughter of the late Yeoh Tiong Lay, the founder of YTL Corporation Berhad. He clarified in a Facebook statement that a 10-second clip circulating online, taken out of context from his 30-minute speech, led to the misunderstanding.
Razman acknowledged his factual error regarding Hannah Yeoh's family background and stated that she is not related to the YTL Corporation founder. While expressing regret for the misinformation, he also voiced disappointment towards the media, accusing them of deliberately focusing on the isolated inaccurate statement rather than highlighting the overall success of the 3-day event in Seri Iskandar, Perak, where the speech took place. He emphasized that the viral clip was not the central theme of his address and questioned why it became the subject of headlines. Nevertheless, Razman extended an apology to Hannah Yeoh and any individuals associated with YTL Corporation Berhad for the confusion caused by his remarks. He further urged the media to prioritize reporting on matters that foster unity rather than those that could potentially divide the public. In a separate response, Hannah Yeoh reminded Razman that not all individuals with the surname Yeoh are related.
