KUALA LUMPUR – Netizens were unable to hold it in after the Prime Minister’s Office issued a brief statement regarding Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s admission to the hospital due to diarrhoea.
Taking to Twitter, numerous users began to spew various tweets, resulting in #PMCirit and #KerajaanCirit hashtags trending on the social platform.
“IDK (I don’t know) man, a prime minister sending journos a pdf abt their hospitalization from diarrhoea is like, the boomer equivalent of a socmed post, except using the state’s newswire and local news outlets as the digital platform of choice #PMCirit,” netizen @TechieKittie tweeted.

“I have never, and could ever, imagine a head of government, in any country, past, present, and even perhaps future would put out a formal statement, explaining the status of his bowels.
“Today is a very interesting day indeed,” @ibrahimsaninet tweeted.
Another netizen @avataram, pointed out that the chief minister of New Delhi made a similar announcement on Twitter in 2013.
“Running 102 fever since yesterday. Severe loose motions. Sad that I won’t be able to attend office today,” the chief minister had tweeted.
“#PMcirit should change ‘work from home’ to ‘work from toilet’,” @fareezropi tweeted.
#pmcirit should change "work from home" to "work from toilet".
