The billboard in Yong Peng, Ayer Hitam, featured the Harapan chairperson with Liew Chin Tong and another DAP candidate.
In about a minute, enforcement officers had cut out Pakatan Harapan chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad's image from a giant billboard in the parliamentary seat of Ayer Hitam.
"We were told that our billboard cannot carry Mahathir's picture and the Election Commission's decision was to cut out Mahathir's picture," said Harapan's candidate Liew Chin Tong.
The Johor DAP chief said the EC had instructed him to remove all the posters and banners which featured Mahathir's image.
Around noon, enforcement officers in yellow vests arrived at Jalan Utama 1 in Yong Peng, where the billboard was located. It featured Mahathir with Liew and DAP's candidate for the Yong Peng state seat, Chew Peck Choo.
The officers then cut out Mahathir's image in the presence of Liew and his team.
According to EC's new guidelines, candidates can only use photos of only two leaders of a political party - the president and deputy president, or their equivalent - on campaign materials, other than the photo of the candidate.
As for the two leaders, they must be from the party which the candidate represents. Images of other officials are not permitted.
