Our adorable Defence Minister, Haji Mohamad bin Sabu has already cemented his place in our hearts for being super cute and humble at the same time. Known affectionately as Mat Sabu, he remains true to his modest nature and hasn’t put on any airs at all despite holding a high ministerial post. In fact, many of the new ministers lead a rather prudent lifestyle!

Recently, the humble man was seen hanging out with some army personnel and they were all enjoying a meal together in the Ministry of Defence’s (MinDef) canteen. In a Facebook post shared by Kelab Che Det, they praised the minister and said that he always tries his best to be friendly with his staff no matter their ranking.
The post said, “If one day you are having lunch at Cafe MinDef, don’t be surprised if you suddenly see Mat Sabu sitting beside you. This is his true nature which has made him so popular with Malaysians!” Netizens who saw the post also praised Mat Sabu and saluted his humble nature as he has set a really good example for his subordinates.

Mat Sabu also shared photos of his lunch on his Twitter account, where he complimented the food at Wisma Kementah’s cafeteria and was happy that he could eat and chat with his fellow colleagues. They certainly look happy to be eating together with the Defence Minister!
Several netizens also said that previous ministers would rarely visit the cafeteria at the building and would instead opt for hotel food or fancy catering. They commented that seeing photos like these was a refreshing change with some cheeky Malaysians asking him when he wanted to belanja them!
Stay awesome, Mat Sabu!
