In a zany twist, Malaysia jailed prominent politician who want to be known only as Job Kor offers a leafy solution to Malaysia's rising living costs brought by tax hike woes: "Let them eat kangkung!"
With a wink and a nod to Marie Antoinette, J*b Kor proposes ditching caviar for humble greens to combat soaring living costs.
"If they can't afford to buy food like rice, then they can get creative," he said in his cell, when interview by reporters today.
"Malaysia today would be in better place, if they didn't choose SST," he added.
"In today climate, everything is expensive, meat rice, even potatoes, we got no choice but to resort to eating kangkung," Klang resident Ahmad said. He later added "Well if it good enough for Job Kor, good enough for me."
Critics question the viability of the kangkung cure on social media, with one Facebook user by the nane Teddy Kong quipped, "Will kangkung make our wallets grow or just our waistlines?"
Undeterred by skepticism, Job Kor doubles down, claiming Kangkung to be Malaysia solution to Malaysia economy, envisioning a nation of kangkung connoisseurs.
As Malaysians ponder the veggie revolution, one thing's clear – when life gives you taxes, make kangkung salad!
During former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's tenure, Malaysia introduced the GST at 6% on April 1, 2015, replacing the SST.
In September 2018, another Malaysia former PM Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad reintroduce sales and services tax (SST).
Purely satirical news
