Working in the media especially in times of political turmoil and breaking news must be stressful. But don’t worry, our media personnel is being fed well while giving us the latest news and updates!
In the last two days, the media personnel camped outside of Istana Negara to report on the ongoing political situation have not only received, first-hand, free food from His Majesty himself, but many companies and brands also followed suit and treated the reporters to a bunch of free items to help ease their duties.
If the reporters feel parched from covering the news in the hot sun, fret not, they have a variety of beverages to choose from. From Milo truck to Boba tea, our reporters will surely be well hydrated.

One Twitter user also reimagined the outdoor palace grounds being set up with tents with a crowd of people surrounding them, just like a Pasar Malam!
However, some netizens had expressed their concerns that the whole gift-giving scenario may have gone a little overboard.
Either way, we hope that the current political turmoil will find its solution soon and we thank the media for keeping Malaysians well informed!
