RECENTLY a video of a uniformed man, either from the Special Actions Unit (UTK) or the army carrying a backpack with huge antennas sticking out went viral.

This man was seen accompanying Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at all events and netizens on social media each had their opinion as to what he was carrying.

One explanation on social media was that the bag contained a signal jammer capable of jamming wireless signals to detonate bombs.

One netizen even said he thought it was a set of bagpipes, while some questioned the need for a signal jammer.

In October last year, Anwar revealed that he had received multiple ‘threats’ from Western countries following Malaysia’s firm stand, support and commitment to defending the rights of the Palestinian people as well as criticism levelled against the Israeli government.

The Prime Minister said as long as he was given the mandate and trust of the people, he, as the head of the government, would not succumb to or be intimidated by such threats.

Some netizens also praised the man in uniform for his commitment and ensuring the safety of Anwar, who is also the finance minister. - October 2, 2024
