PKR senator Bob Manolan Mohd has apologised to Orang Asli village chiefs (tok batin) in Cameron Highlands.

This is over his remarks that village chiefs who do not support Pakatan Harapan or the government risked losing their positions and salaries.

"Unfortunately, in explaining this during my speech, (I had said) any tok batin who does not support Harapan as the government of the day should not be paid.

"I admit this was excessive because it can cause confusion and be interpreted as a threat," he added.
