No more ‘kayangan’ privileges – PM
Previous issues relating to dignitaries being treated in a ‘double standard’ has started to spread among Malaysians and the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob wants to change that.
During his time as Senior Minister of Defense, Ismail Sabri had issued a statement that there would be no more preferential treatment to VIPs after this.
Celebrities and politicians should be compounded immediately like other individuals they’re found breaching standard operating procedures (SOPs).
