<p>PETALING JAYA: A political aide to Anwar Ibrahim has criticised Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) enforcement officers after a scuffle with a balloon vendor along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman in Kuala Lumpur last night</p>
<p>Kamil Munim, who is the political secretary to Anwar in his capacity as finance minister, said he condemned the incident, and called for an investigation to be carried out.</p>
<p>“Roughing up vendors is a despicable act that cannot be accepted. No matter the justification from DBKL, such cruel and rude actions can never be justified,” said Kamil in a post on X.</p>
<p>“What is the meaning of fasting and doing good deeds during Ramadan if it fails to humanise us and does not bring forth compassion and kindness toward the less fortunate?</p>
