Hype

There is a Datuk that went on radio with a caption "Tak Hensem Tak Apa, Janji Kaya"... roughly translated it means "it doesn't matter if you're not good looking, as long as you're rich".

He is a fund manager and trains others on how to invest and make lots of money like him. The caption was a marketing thing & I guess it worked because it is memorable (and eventually became the source of multiple online memes). 

On October 6 his license was suspended pending investigations

On another note, a celebrity preacher is also being investigated due to alleged harassment

Granted, both cases are allegations against the persons named. They have a right to speak and defend themselves, and have their day in court. 

These development of events reminded me of my mom's words. She said: whatever you do, do good. 

My late dad embodied this, in behaviour. There was one instance when he was defamed but people who knows him knows that he is not capable of that (of which he was accused).

In the day and age of clout and social media presence, it is not easy to maintain one's reputation. There is a huge amount of temptation as a person in power, or as a person of influence, to be swayed to the 'dark side'. May truth and justice prevail, and may we be good people.
