1. First of all, herself with the ENTIRE DAP Sarawak leaders in attendance called Kenyalang the "National Bird" according to the slide "Our National Bird of Sarawak" to be exact - i let you all decide lah ye. Do you agree Kenyalang is a NATIONAL Bird of the state of Sarawak?
2. She put up the pix of Rhinoceros Hornbill vs Great Hornbill. Saying Rhinocerus is native of Borneo (no one is disagreeing with her on this).
3. Now this "Speaking during a DAP Sarawak fundraising dinner here on Thursday, Yong said that the hornbill depicted is the ‘Great Hornbill’ – a species not native to Sarawak." Now OPEN your eyes BIG BIG and compare the Affin Bank Kenyalang bird and compared is to Violet Yong's GREAT Hornbill and tell Ktiam if you agree the Affin Bank Bird is the GREAT Hornbill.
Her Powerpoint, ONE Slide has MULTIPLE factual errors and there she was standing proud on stage pointing out Affin Bank's error!
I suspect Affin's card design color was intended for esthetic. Amagine the entire body except the horn and bontont is bright color everything else including the back ground of the card is black, that card will be mocked as the BONTOT Card.
Bontot Card Affin Bank

‘Not our kenyalang’: Affin Bank slammed for mistaking Sarawak’s iconic hornbill
QUOTE
KUCHING (May 16): The Democratic Action Party (DAP) Sarawak organising secretary Violet Yong has called on Affin Bank to issue a correction and public apology for using the wrong hornbill species on a bank card designed to represent Sarawak, calling it a ‘cultural misrepresentation’.
Speaking during a DAP Sarawak fundraising dinner here on Thursday, Yong said that the hornbill depicted is the ‘Great Hornbill’ – a species not native to Sarawak.
“The Hornbill shown on the card is called the Great Hornbill which can only be found in West Malaysia, India, China, Thailand, and Vietnam, among others.
“It is not the Rhinoceros Hornbill or locally known as ‘Burung Kenyalang’, the state bird of Sarawak and how can Affin Bank use a wrong identity to represent Sarawak?.
“The Sarawak state hornbill has a black neck, while the one on the card has a white neck, confirming it is the wrong species,” she said.
Given that the Sarawak government holds a 31.25 per cent stake in Affin Bank, Yong expressed disappointment that such a mistake occurred.
“This should not have happened as the card is meant to represent Sarawak and none of the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) leaders pointed this out.
“If this card is our pride, Affin should use the correct hornbill species for it as I believe that the card’s graphic designer is not a Sarawakian,” she emphasised.
