A post on Facebook by influencer Tanaka Mustafa on the anti-alcohol policies in Tamil Nadu raised some eyebrows when he said, 'Vijay can just shut down liquor factories in Tamil Nadu, because there’s no Diyepi there.' Users commenting on the post quickly linked the word Diyepi to the Democratic Action Party (DAP). They also alleged that alcohol is also accessed in schools, probably related to events organized in Chinese schools where alcohol is said to be flowing.
INDIA/MALAYSIA: When the newly minted Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Chandrasekaran Joseph Vijay, announced a crackdown on alcohol access by ordering the closure of 717 TASMAC liquor outlets situated near schools, temples, and bus stands, locals in Malaysia quickly joked about it.
However, they were not targeting the popular Chief Minister in India. They were targeting the allies of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in his Madani government. A post on Facebook by influencer Tanaka Mustafa on the anti-alcohol policies in Tamil Nadu raised some eyebrows.
“Vijay can just shut down liquor factories in Tamil Nadu, because there’s no Diyepi there,” he said. Users commenting on the post quickly linked the word Diyepi to the Democratic Action Party . One Facebook user said that with DAP, alcohol is also accessed in schools. The comment is probably related to events organised in Chinese schools where alcohol is said to be flowing.
These are also said to be part of fundraising events at such schools. Also, some exceptions allow school boards to continue renting out halls for dinners and fundraisers, which are ‘crucial’ for generating income. The victory of the superstar actor in Tamil cinema also gave ammunition to local social media users to comment on Malaysia’s politics after Anwar congratulated the latter.
He called Vijay ‘friend’, adding that for many years, his adoring fans watched him “defeat corrupt politicians and assorted villains within three hours, usually after a short interval. ”“Dear @anwaribrahim, please ban hero worshipping in Malaysia and stop dumping rubbish movies onto us without properly censoring it. Vijay has been promoting vulgarity in his movies for his whole career,” one posted.
One user hit hard in the comments, saying there is a need for a Malaysian ‘Joseph Vijay’ to win in the next general elections in Malaysia. The aim is to see the ‘new’ leader in Malaysia keep the promises and not just talk and betray the people.
“Malaysians are also looking for our ‘Joseph Vijay’ in GE16 who can live up to our hopes for a new generation leader to reset our governance against racial and money politics, one with guts to walk the talk and not just talk and betray the trust of the people. ” Many users on social media are constantly attacking Anwar for promoting ‘reforms’ for decades, but only to stay away from the reform agenda once he took power.
Another user said they want to see Anwar in the next elections, perhaps not to vote for him, for they say temples are being targeted in Malaysia.
“Sir, you know what equality is? We supported you! But what are u doing? Disgracing us but destroying our temples.
See u in the next election! ”Singapore psychologists and education experts warn that AI companions may affect teen mental health and real-life relationships AI companions are becoming emotional crutches for some users, and Singapore mental health and education experts say the social cost may already be showingdocument.addEventListener=>{ const trigger=document.getElementById; if { const observer=new IntersectionObserver=>{ entries.forEach { lazyLoader; // You should define lazyLoader elsewhere or inline here observer.unobserve; // Run once } }); }, { rootMargin: '800px', threshold: 0.1 }); observer.observe; } else { // Fallback setTimeout; } });
