Fun Facts about Malaysia in 2020

When you are part of the ministerial cabinet members in Malaysia, you are exempted from complying with the Covid-19 prevention standard operating procedures (SOP). The general public have to comply with SOP unless risking fine and imprisonment, but not the cabinet members. Such is a rare privilege accorded to leadership of the country.

Furthermore, when Malaysia is seeing a spike in Covid-19 infections, surpassing previous highest record of cases, and the students for tertiary institutions are being turned away on the day they are supposed to be checking-in to the accommodation for registration, the prime ministers and a large number of cabinet ministers are busy playing golf and have sumptuous dinner at a remote resort while the students face tremendous hardship. This is a rare privilege accorded to leadership of this country.

At the same time, another deputy minister who is known to have fictitious university degrees went around attending official event without a simple face mask for preventing Covid-19 infection.
