Many members of the government have been accused of taking advantage of the recent flash floods and treating it as a publicity stunt.
A video of Datuk Seri Rina Harun using a water jet on a “clean” area recently drew backlash.
Now, a video clip featuring Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has gone viral on social media. He was seen to be posing with a shovel during a clean up operation in a flood-hit area.
The video features Ismail Sabri holding a shovel, posing and scooping up dirt only once in front of a bunch of cameras, before handing the shovel back to a person in a Fire Department uniform.
Netizens express their anger over the video clip
Although the original source of the video has not been verified, Malaysians took to social media to express their disappointment.
One user said that if the Prime Minister and Ministers are not sincerely helping and are merely doing it for a show, they should not bother coming to any flood sites in the first place.
Another said, “It’s looks like the time where everyone is entertaining the little child who’s playing with dirt for the first time.”
“This is the guy who is supposed to lead the country??”
Others took the chance to remind Malaysians to vote and to think about the future of the country.
Some even related the video to other hilarious situations
The video was edited with the soundtrack of Jurassic Park in the background, it also included an edited sound of people cheering him on.
Social media users took the opportunity to poke fun at the video by providing their own hilarious captions.
“Me to my kids when they finished their food,” wrote one user.
“My parents hyping me up when I do house chores.”
Another said, “That one groupmate trying to make a contribution in the group assignment.”
