Netizens commented on the exchange, with many commending Saddiq for his gracious reply to Tunku Ismail.
I love this. What Syed Saddiq really saying is - never argue with dumb people and don't bring yourself down to their level.
It’s also very upsetting to see a so called ‘Crown Prince of Johor’ who will one day rule a big state in Msia to act this way. Very, very, upsetting.

You are younger but I think you are way more matured and wiser. Good for you, people can see your level the way you tweet.
