Malaysia vows crackdown on air force officers’ ‘immoral culture’
The air force is investigating the ‘yeye culture’ scandal involving 20 officers, pledging strict action against those found guilty
Some 20 Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) officers are believed to be involved in immoral activities dubbed “yeye culture”.
According to RMAF chief Muhamad Norazlan Aris, initial investigations by the air force on Tuesday revealed that 20 officers were involved.
“We will ensure that action is taken based on the armed forces’ laws and regulations. Such immoral culture is not the norm for the air force,” he said in a statement on Saturday.
Muhamad Norazlan said the RMAF viewed the infringement on the order, directive and rules seriously.
“We will take stern action without compromise. The RMAF leadership deeply regrets the incident that occurred, and we will also take necessary action against those who failed to follow orders,” he said.
Previously, Muhamad Norazlan had said the RMAF would not compromise on any form of misconduct or disciplinary breach amid allegations of unauthorised entry and immoral activities at a military camp.
