If there’s one thing you can count on Malaysians to do, it’s to make memes out of every serious, potentially-life changing situation.
Now that our nation is undergoing some serious governmental imbalances, Malaysians who are waiting for the final result as to who our new Prime Minister would be are spending their time creating memes of the current situation while they wait.
And we have to add, they’re all quite entertaining. Here are just some of our favourites.
Some netizens are using card games such as UNO to illustrate Tun M’s decision to resign.

Aikiu (@Iq_Dazhmil) also went with the UNO angle, but he portrayed Tun M to have pulled out multiple Reverse cards.

But they’re not the only ones to utilise games to add humour to the current situation.
Facebook page What The Malaysia showcased a meme created in the style of a Fallout chat box.
TUN M: Bye Yalls ✌️

What The Malaysia wrote, “Tun M: Bye ya’ll.”

But that’s not all.
Netizens have also realised that the drama and intensity surrounding the current coalition makes for very good television content.

Apparently, our now former prime minister also found himself in a dance with dragons, thanks to Harry Kok Siew Yok.

It turns out that Tun M has also been adapted into an anime villain.

And lastly, considering the fact that Malaysians are impatient people in general, they’ve decided that they cannot wait for the authorities to announce a new Prime Minister and are taking the selection process into their own hands.
Job Malaysia posted a job opening for a new Prime Minister.

And there you have it, proof that Malaysians can have a great sense of humour even during times of turmoil and crisis.
Let’s just hope that we can keep up the good vibes throughout the entire transition process and if anymore unexpected news pops up!
