Having helped themselves to state salaried positions and lavishly funded their own ‘NGOs’ from state coffers it is only natural that the Covid Coup brigade is now rewarding itself with ‘honours’.
No wonder they called a bogus State of Emergency to keep themselves in power that bit longer, as how could the likes of Zuraida cope with not being accorded a ‘Datin’ to the end of her days in subservient news reports?
Her qualities of grace and elegance are indeed made for a title that anyone of honour would spurn at once.
Other paragons of virtue thus ‘honoured’ include the thuggish blogger Papagomo and practically all the jumped up ministers and placemen packed into the federal and state governments by ‘PM8′ in order to keep in power a mixed crew of crooks and party hoppers who had been roundly rejected by the people in a fair election.
No wonder people of intellect, conscience and quality in Malaysia increasingly regard the offer of a ‘Datukship’ as an insult to be spurned.
