Malaysians mock military base ‘parties’ with nuggets, fries memes amid probe
An inquiry has been launched after social media clips purport to show women drinking and socialising with personnel inside military camps
On Monday, the ministry said it had directed the armed forces to conduct an immediate probe to verify the allegations circulating online.
“The allegations do not reflect the culture, values and practices of the military, which are founded on discipline, professionalism and strict adherence to security procedures,” it said in a statement.
“If the allegations are proven to be true, firm action will be taken without compromise against any party, in accordance with existing regulations, procedures and laws.”
Videos that circulated on social media on Sunday purported to show what the poster described as an “entertainment culture” involving military personnel, according to Free Malaysia Today. The clips have since been deleted.
One video, which the poster claimed was filmed at Subang Air Base, appeared to show a man entering a venue with his arm around a woman dressed for a nightclub setting. Another clip showed women seated at a bar and interacting with men in plain clothes.
