Netizens were angry and disappointed with the damage done to the murals.
"Even though I'm not the one who drew that mural, my heart would break into pieces if my artwork was destroyed just like that," said a netizen.
While someone else said, "We can disagree in politics but this is an insult to art and the people who work for the good of Malaysia."
This netizen also echoed their sentiments and said, "If you hate someone, make it personal. Do not drag everyone into your hate. You drag the artist. This is sad and awful."
"To the artist, your mural is great. I appreciate your art. But this vandalism doesn't have love towards it. Whoever did this, you are not human," he continued.
