NGO claims Syed Saddiq plagiarised its identity

  • 4 years ago
A Johor-based NGO known as "Muda!" has claimed that Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman had plagiarised its identity for his new youth-led political party of the same name.

Muda!'s founder Onn Mahathir told Malaysiakini that Muda! had been around since 2018 and was officially registered with the Registrar of Societies.

For the record, Syed Saddiq submitted his application for Muda, short for "Malaysian United Democratic Alliance", yesterday.

Syed Saddiq, in a brief response to the NGO's criticisms via Twitter, said that his new party's name did not breach any intellectual property (IP).
