PUBLIC anger continues over what appears to be double standards for politicians who don’t follow safety standard operating procedures (SOPs) to prevent Covid-19 infection, such as masking in crowded public places.

Although the National Security Council (NSC) has made it obligatory to wear a mask, especially in crowded public places, since August, social media is awash with photos of politicians and ministers going bare-faced or wearing a mask improperly, drawing angry comments.

  • The evidence clearly confirmed that the current anxiety faced by the nation was due to the present lawmakers and Politicians who blatantly violated the SOP thus the newly active positive cases of Covid increased tremendously. These present set of Politicians will be considered and remembered as a Useless Cluster to Malaysian and will be referred as a Bad example .
