Launching another acerbic assault on DAP, Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) described the party's candidate for the Teluk Intan by-election, Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud, as a "cheap candy" bait to fool the Malays.

In a comment piece, Isma vice-president Abdul Rahman Mat Dali cautioned Muslims and Malays not to fall for this and reminded them that the nature of DAP is "against the implementation of Islam".
