Was the Muar Chinese signage furore created by “political saboteurs” to try to up MCA’s chances in the Balakong by-election on Saturday?

I am shocked over the sudden Muar Chinese signage furore raising the question whether it is the work of “political saboteurs” trying to up MCA’s chances in the Balakong by-election on Saturday.

There is otherwise no reason for such a furore to come out of the blue with the shop owners in the Muar district who had been doing business for decades to be suddenly instructed by Muar Municipal Council officers to erase Chinese-letterings on pillars outside each store, undermining inter-racial harmony and unity.
