SHAH ALAM (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Red Shirt leader Datuk Seri Jamal Md Yunos came up with his latest antic in protesting the Oktoberfest beer festival.

The Sungai Besar Umno division chief arrived with several crates of beer in front of the Selangor state government office, which was closed after he arrived at about 10am on Thursday (Oct 5).

"Today I want to send all these beers to (Selangor Menteri Besar) Azmin Ali's office.

"He and his gang can drink all they want inside but not anywhere outside,'' he said.

Jamal and his men then dumped the cartons of beer outside the gate and he proceeded to wreck them using a hammer.

The beer cartons and bottles were pasted with a logo bearing "The Better Beer Festival 2017'' concealing the brand name.

After crushing the beers, Jamal then walked back to his vehicle without saying anything further.

A security officer from the state government office then chased after Jamal and told his men that they could not leave all the broken bottles outside the gate. However, Jamal and his group ignored him and left the scene.
