Recently, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri has been under the spotlight for his responses and actions. He was criticised by Malaysians for defending Minister of Defence Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein’s SOP violation.
The PM is currently on a trip to Brunei where he met up with Brunei’s King, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah.
He recently shared a picture of the Sultan driving him around his house on a Hummer on a red carpet. Along with the picture, Ismail Sabri says that the Sultan is ‘humble’ and friendly.
