KUALA LUMPUR – In what appears to be a satirical move, graphic designer Fahmi Reza Mohd Zarin has created a six-hour Spotify playlist titled “This is Dengki Ke?” following an online comment by the queen recently.
The 101-track playlist includes punk rock band Sex Pistols’ God Save the Queen, rock band Queen’s Jealousy, the late John Lennon’s Jealous Again, Herlina Effendi’s Mengapa Hatimu Dengki, and Lou Monte’s Jealous of You.
The songs contain words like “jealous” and “dengki” either in their title or lyrics, or share the theme.
Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah’s comment to an Instagram user came on the heels of claims that she received an unapproved Covid-19 vaccine abroad.
The user asked if chefs at the palace have been vaccinated, after the queen posted several photos of dishes prepared by her and the kitchen crew, to which Tunku Azizah replied: “Dengki ke? (Are you jealous?).”
It is widely speculated that the queen disabled her Instagram account on Monday after several followers questioned her on the allegations that she was administered the unapproved Sinopharm jab.
Tunku Azizah, whose Instagram handle was @airtangan_tunkuazizah, had more than 1.2 million followers on the platform.
An Asia Sentinel report on Saturday alleged that Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah and his family were among several Malaysian VIPs who received the Sinopharm vaccine in the United Arab Emirates in January.
The company’s jab has yet to get approval from the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency.
The write-up alleged that the king was given an extra 2,000 doses for family and friends back home.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba has rubbished the report and said the allegations it contained are defamatory.
In a brief WhatsApp conversation with The Vibes, he said there is no “hanky-panky” in the procurement of Covid-19 vaccines.
“There is no hanky-panky in the purchase and sourcing of the vaccines.
“This foreign journalist is being defamatory. All purchases (of vaccines) have gone through stringent assessment by the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency and received approval from the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force.”
Fahmi, 44, is no stranger to controversy, having been investigated under Section 500 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 last month after he posted two graphic displays of a satirical nature.
Section 500 relates to defamation against another person, and punishable with up to two years’ imprisonment, or a fine, or both, while Section 233 is on the improper use of network facilities or their services. – The Vibes, April 21, 2021
