Of Kangkung Professors, Beer and Corruption

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7, 2025: Malaysia today is portrayed as the world champion of stupidity ... and CORRUPTION.

And we have Kangkung Professors (who claim Malays can fly, Romans learnt shipbuilding from Malays and Great Wall of China was built with bricks imported from Malay) and Beer to than for the world’s No.1 champion in stupidity.

And corruption is not a problem to the Government. It is OK for 2,527 civil servants (only those nabbed) to steal  RM15.88 billion from the Government’s coffer or from the  rakyat dan negara (people and country) but drinking beer is intolerable!

No News Is Bad News reproduces below what is being circulated on WhatsApp on the the stupid issues:

*Malaysia’s Morality Crisis: Why a Glass of Beer Sparks Outrage but Billions in Corruption Don’t*
*_By Dartvader_*

*1. The Selective Outrage*
Why does a *glass of beer* at a private tourism event ignite national fury, while *rape, bribery, and abuse of power* barely make the news?
Why are politicians obsessed with optics instead of ethics?
This is Malaysia’s greatest moral failure — we punish what’s visible, and excuse what’s vile.
*2. The Tiong “Beer-Gate” Spectacle*
Tourism Minister *Tiong King Sing*, a Sarawakian Christian, attended a *privately funded tourism gala* that generated *RM420 million* for Malaysia’s economy.
It wasn’t a government event. No taxpayers’ money, no forced participation, no pork, and no disrespect.
Yet, a few beer glasses spotted on tables became “an insult to Islam,” triggering full-blown outrage from UMNO-PAS leaders.
Mas Ermieyati screamed “disrespect to Islam!”
UMNO Youth chief *Dr. Akmal Saleh* demanded Tiong’s sacking.
PAS leaders called it a betrayal of faith.
Even Khairy Jamaluddin joined the noise, screenshot in hand.
And just like that, a *private-sector dinner* turned into a *political war*.
*3. The Hypocrisy Gets Deeper — Akmal’s Double Standards*
Then Akmal took it further — questioning Malaysia’s ties with the *United States* and *President trumps  visit or past president*.
He accused the government of “betraying Islam” for welcoming America.
But where was this moral thunder when past *UMNO prime ministers shook hands with U.S. presidents*, praised Trump’s “leadership,” and even *sat beside Israel’s prime minister at UN events*?
Where was the outrage when Najib proudly called Trump “my friend”?
Where was PAS’s sermon then?
So what changed? Nothing — except who’s in power.
This isn’t faith. It’s *selective outrage dressed as piety*.
Morality by convenience, not conviction.
*4. The Fascist Playbook in Motion*
It’s not about religion — it’s about control.
It’s *classic Goebbels*: repeat a lie until it sticks, inflame emotions, and make the majority feel threatened.
Minorities become scapegoats, and unity becomes a slogan without substance.
Today it’s beer.
Tomorrow it’s your culture, your song, your name.
*5. Symbolism Over Substance*
As *Zaid Ibrahim* rightly said, alcohol in Malaysia isn’t about sin — it’s about *symbolism*.
Condemning a beer costs nothing.
Condemning corruption costs careers.
And so, politicians trade *real morality* for *performative piety.*
> “We may be corrupt, but we are still holy.”
*6. The Real Moral Collapse*
Let’s face it:
Malaysia has become a place where —
* *Rape is not a priority.*
* *Bribery is not a priority.*
* *Justice is not a priority.*
What's happening to Zara's case?
But a *glass of beer? National crisis.*
So what are we now — *champions of stupidity?*
Have we become so fragile that a drink at a tourism dinner threatens our faith more than thieves in Parliament or predators in classrooms?
*7. The Economic Hypocrisy*
*Here's the joke*:
The same government & people condemning alcohol PAS, UMNO Nmany minister benefited from it so thr *profits from it* — RM2 billion yearly in alcohol taxes, plus another RM6 billion from other “sin” sectors.
They drink the tax revenue while preaching purity.
*Hypocrisy has never been this profitable.*
*8. The Real Test of Faith*
Faith was never about shouting louder than your neighbour.
It’s about honesty, empathy, and justice — the values Prophet Muhammad himself upheld.
If Malaysians were as outraged about *corruption and rape* as they are about *a beer*, this country would already be righteous.
*9. The Wake-Up Call*
This “Beer-Gate” isn’t about religion — it’s about manipulation.
Until we move from *symbolic piety* to *ethical integrity*, Malaysia will remain stuck in moral kindergarten.
So, Malaysia — are we proud of being loud, or ready to be wise?
Because right now, we’re acting like the *Champions of Stupidity.*

Your Neighbor Didn't Steal From You, The Guy in the Government Office Did
Want to know what really makes me angry?
It's not the big scandals on TV. It's what's happening every single day while we're distracted fighting each other.
Here are the numbers:
In 5 years, 2,527 civil servants arrested for corruption stole RM15.88 billion.
That's just what got caught.
The real shocker? Malaysia loses RM120 billion every year to corruption, mismanagement, and wastage in the civil service.
Every. Single. Year.
Do the math:
- 5 years = RM600 billion gone
- 10 years = RM1.2 trillion vanished
That RM120 billion is more than our entire budgets for education (RM66.2B), health (RM46.5B), and defense (RM21.7B) combined.
This is your children's future. Your parents' healthcare. Your roads and schools, stolen.
While government offices quietly drain billions, what are we fighting about?
Race. Religion. Who's "truly Malaysian."
Politicians point at Chinese businesses, Indian professionals, non-Bumiputera citizens and scream "They're stealing from you!"
Wrong!
The real thieves wear government uniforms. They clock in at 9 AM, shuffle papers, and pocket your money while you struggle with rising costs.
These corruption numbers dwarf every political scandal combined, bigger than all the famous cases you know put together.
The perfect crime:
Steal billions. Then when people get angry about being poor, point at another race and shout "They're the problem!"
Think about it...
When did you last see a massive rally demanding accountability for that RM120 billion?
Never.
But mention vernacular schools, upside down flags or a beer festival? Instant outrage. Thousands on the streets.
They've weaponized our identities. Turned our pride into a shield for their theft.
The truth...
Your Malay neighbor isn't your enemy. Your Chinese colleague isn't robbing you. Your Indian friend isn't the problem.
The person stealing from you sits in an air-conditioned office, stamping papers with one hand and pocketing your tax money with the other.
When you notice, they'll point at someone who looks different and whisper: "No, they're the real problem."
Malaysia doesn't have a race problem. We have a corruption problem disguised as a race problem.
RM120 billion a year. Every year. While we argue about everything except the actual theft.
Ask yourself... Who wins when we're divided? Who benefits when we're too busy fighting each other?
The answer should terrify you.
Because while we're shouting at each other, they're laughing all the way to the bank.
With our money.
