Pictures of ministers with the controversial 'Belt and Road Initiative for Win-Winism' comic book does not mean that the government endorses the publication, Education Minister Maszlee Malik said.
He was responding to a question from Mastura Mohd Yazid (BN-Kuala Kangsar) who asked for an explanation on the picture of Deputy Education Minister Teo Nie Ching being presented with the comic, which has gone viral.
"She (Teo) has never released any written statement endorsing anything," Maszlee said during the Minister's Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat today.
He also pointed out that the picture of Teo is not an isolated incident as Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad also had his picture taken when he was presented with the comic book.
The comic book, produced by Asean Comic and Cultural Museum curator Hew Kuan Yau and local artist Tomato came under intense public scrutiny after it was found to have been distributed to school libraries.
