I was going home, says Ismail Sabri on 'closing the front door’ Instagram post


KUALA LUMPUR: Following much speculation on social media over Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s Instagram post of “closing the front door”, the Senior Minister (Security) said it was just because he was going home for the day.

A picture he posted on his official Instagram account on Wednesday (June 2) shows him closing the door to his office with the caption,"Saya dah tutup pintu depan tapi... " (I already closed the front door but...), with a crying emoji.

"I closed the door because I was going home," he told reporters during a virtual press conference to launch the Malaysian Armed Forces modular hospital on Thursday (June 3).

The post, which has garnered close to 29,000 likes, had set tongues wagging, with many speculating about possible conflicts in the Cabinet.
