NO MORE EXTRA SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR MALAYSIA'S HAJ PILGRIMS UNDER PH?

Malaysia has been endlessly praised and 'loved' by Saudi Arabia.
Stringent rules and strict regulations applied to other countries would somehow be more dotingly flexible on Malaysian pilgrims kissing the Holy Land.
Special respect for Malaysian pilgrims was one of the ways SA expressed their favouritism.

Now, the first of its 'you must follow like all the other countries' command has slowly begun.
Was it because Malaysia has decided to withdraw from the Saudi Coalition attacks on Yemen?
Or is it because Saudi Arabia does not like PH and prefers BN?

Is it because King Salman actually enjoyed a better handshake with DSN and does not really favour Tun M given a choice.

We've seen a few prominent leaders who personally rushed to congratulate Tun M upon becoming the PM of Malaysia again under PH's historic GE14 victory.
Being the leader of the Muslim world, there is apparently less of that previous Saudi Kingdom 'hugs' with Malaysia lately.

Naturally Saudi Arabia cannot overnight wholly accept the new government of Malaysia, after such an endearing relationship with BN, without some degree of skepticism and trepidation.

Congrats UIAM For Winning PERTANDINGAN DEBAT DIRAJA ANTARA IPT 2018

Woke up annoyed that my youngest daughter came back just after midnight.
Babbled at her. She knew my temperament, and quietly closed her bedroom door.
I read her important whatsapp message the next morning informing me of her debating success.
Gosh!

Apparently there was a closing debate ceremony which ended rather late, and after that she sat with her friends for a quick drink.

Her UIAM team won the English Debate Tournament against UM.
She also grabbed the overall best speaker and finals best speaker.

When a VVIP enquired where she was from, she replied Kuantan.
When asked what is the father working as, she said he was an ex MP, and is currently recovering from a stroke.

She did not relate much to me when I excitedly asked her whether they knew her father.
"I can't remember ma..". I guess she didn't want to sound cocky.
So the conversation on the topic was briefly cut.

I managed to source this photo below from the internet.
