Mariam Mokhtar

by Mariam Mokhtar

Until a few days ago, I thought khat was a leafy, stimulant drug, which the Yemenis and those in the Horn of Africa chew to give them a high.

Today, we bicker about khat and its relevance to our history, its use in art, and other unimportant details.

We must thank the education minister for his politics of distraction, because suddenly, we forgot who bedded whom, which education policy is worse, the dangers of pollution and how Malaysia became the world's dustbin.

You know what? Most people, especially in the lower-income bracket, do not care about khat, or any other lofty political ideals.

Wakakaka, I deem Mariam Mokhtar's statement (follows) as the BEST political statement for 2019 thus far:

We must thank the education minister for his politics of distraction, because suddenly, we forgot who bedded whom, which education policy is worse, the dangers of pollution and how Malaysia became the world's dustbin.
