Earlier today, 9 August, Senator Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal posted a set of three photos on his official Twitter account
In two of the photos, Wan Ahmad Fayhsal, who is the Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports in the Perikatan Nasional (PN) administration, is seen sitting around a round table with 12 other men.
The Bersatu Senator is seen without a face mask while more than half of his companions either have their face masks pulled down to the chin or are not wearing one, as seen in the photos.
In the third photo, Wan Ahmad Fayhsal, who is the former special officer of Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, is seen standing in the midst of a group consisting of over a dozen other people.
In this photo, too, the Deputy Minister is seen without a mask.
In comparison, at least 10 of the men in the third photo are seen wearing a mask.
He is in Johor to campaign for a party post
It is believed that Wan Ahmad Fayhsal is campaigning for the post of chief of Armada, the youth wing of Bersatu. The Bersatu Youth Chief position was previously held by Syed Saddiq.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government has passed a rule under which it is mandatory to wear face masks in public
According to a list of places and occasions where the people have to wear face masks are public and crowded areas, indoor areas where people gather, places of worship, hospitals, clinics, and retail outlets.
The list was released by the National Security Council (NSC) on 5 August, which states that face masks are also required when getting a haircut and visits to a spa or a beauty salon.
