Netizens Praise Mat Sabu for Humbly Having a Meal with Army Staff in Canteen

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!

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!
