A MEMBER of Parliament has denounced the so-called ‘yeye’ culture circulating on social media and allegedly taking place in military camps, describing it as shameful conduct that in no way reflects the values or traditions of the Malaysian Armed Forces.
Datuk Khlir Mohd Nor (PN - Ketereh) and a former military officer, said the behaviour amounted to little more than “naughty kids’ activities” and called on military commanders to put an immediate stop to it.
Speaking during the debate on the motion of thanks for the Royal Address in the Dewan Rakyat, Khlir said such conduct was deeply embarrassing and would not have been tolerated during his own service, particularly when he served as Chief of Army Intelligence.
“I hope the commanders issue an order to stop this cultural activity because it is embarrassing. If it had happened during my time, I would have done something.
“There is no joking around with me. With me, there is no playing games. I do not tolerate immorality,” he said.
His remarks followed the circulation of images and video clips on several social media platforms that purportedly showed inappropriate behaviour and conduct inconsistent with service ethics within military camps.
Defence Minister Mohamed Khaled Nordin has since stated that the Defence Ministry and the Armed Forces have long prohibited any activities deemed unbecoming or lacking in moral values in all military camps nationwide.
He said clear and strict rules and guidelines have been set regarding social activities permitted within camps.
Mohamed Khaled also warned that anyone involved in immoral acts that tarnish the noble image of the Armed Forces would face punishment and be dismissed from service in disgrace. - January 22, 2026
