The act of 'eating out' at ordinary restaurants like any other Malaysians seems to be an occasion for BN politicians to showcase their 'moderation' and ultimately score political mileage.
Recently prime minister Najib Razak splashed a picture of him eating out with family members at the upmarket The Curve shopping mall, in what many believe was to drive home the PM and family's 'simple' lifestyle.
But 'simplicity' as understood and experienced by majority of Malaysians has always been the norm among the PAS leadership in Kelantan, especially in the person of its Menteri Besar.
This picture on the right shows Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, also the PAS Murshidul Am, getting ready to enjoy Malaysia's most popular takeaway dish, 'nasi bungkus', before chairing a state exco meeting yesterday.
For several years now, Nik Aziz, whose simple lifestyle has earned him respect among friends and foes, has made it a rule that only 'nasi bungkus' be served for breakfast during exco meetings, as part of the PAS-led state government's austerity measures.
This is unlike many other states where it is a norm and almost a must to prepare a sumptuous menu everytime government officers attend a meeting.
