With the spike of Covid-19 cases following the Sabah elections, some people have began to express their dissatisfaction with politicians.

Last week, netizens started a new hashtag, #RakyatJagaRakyat to call out double standards between Malaysians and politicians, and there were also cases of banners blaming politicians over the Covid-19 spike displayed at Ipoh and Johor Bahru.

So far, there has been no official arrest regarding the vandalism.

While incidents like these usually involve secrecy, a youth collective known as Gerak Malaysia posted up pictures today of a group holding up a banner that wrote, “Rakyat menderita. Politikus peduli apa?” which translates to “The people are suffering. Do politicians even care?” on Twitter.

The people in the images can be seen posing with the banners in front of government buildings like Perdana Putra – the PM’s office building, the Education Ministry building, the Immigration centre and more.

A quick check on Gerak’s website reveals that they are led by several named members and also “lain-lain ahli yang misteri” (“other anonymous members”). It is uncertain who is involved in the incident as those posing in the photos wore masks.

In the captions in the Twitter thread, the group stated why they were there and ended with a political-poem.

RAKYAT MENDERITA, POLITIKUS PEDULI APA?

Waktu pandemik berleluasa, ‘abah’ hanya peduli perebutan kuasa. Pilihanraya negeri tercetus, virus bertabah meletus. Tidak pernah berdepan dengan media, sibuk nak merotan rakyat jelata. pic.twitter.com/9oVNsLNC7f

Ekonomi gawat, Rakyat tenat. Ex-CEO hanya menjaga kepentingan bank-bank, elit dan korporat. Selamatkan diri sendiri yang utama, rakyat biar yang kedua. Biar kebuluran menimpa rakyat jelata, biar mati hilang punca makan dan kerja. pic.twitter.com/eXSw41sNiq

Kementerian Dalam Negeri, paling celaka. Mewujudkan masyarakat dua darjat; miskin dan kaya. Melolong minta rakyat marhaen mematuhi SOP dan tangkap mereka yang melanggarnya. Tapi politikus bangsat langgar SOP, bebas dari hukuman, tak dipeduli kerana kaya! pic.twitter.com/okH90SsWj7

Waktu PKP, ‘menteri Doraemon’ tidak peduli. Keganasan rumah tangga meningkat tinggi. Tidak peduli ramai yang mengalami kemerosotan kesihatan mental dan ekonomi. Sempat lagi menyaran wanita untuk berdandan supaya suami gembira. pic.twitter.com/ZzdaSFdgLo

‘Menteri tiktok’ tak kurang pula, suka main sorok saja, tidak peduli sama ada mahasiswa-mahasiswi yang tak punya peluang dan fasiliti untuk belajar. Panggil pelajar balik ke kampus, tapi u-turn pada akhirnya. Pelajar terkandas merata-rata, hangus duit perbelanjaan semester. pic.twitter.com/qC1RP8Af1H

Begitulah Politikus Negara
Menjadi Bangsat Pada Rakyatnya.
Rakyat Penat,
Politikus Hanat
Rakyat Menderita, Politikus Ketawa.
Gila Kerusi,
Bayi Mati.
Banyak Kementerian,
Semua Tak Guna.

Yang benar,
RAKYAT YANG MENDERITA pic.twitter.com/X2tjeQeT9k
