A WORK by Sabahan cartoonist Knon has been going viral in the lead-up to Malaysia Day tomorrow. It has been shared in my chat groups and on my social media platforms by friends and politicians from my home state of Sabah.

The cartoon shows a man resembling Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim holding a packet marked “sweets, gula-gula”, and another man who looks like Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor facing down a bevy of otters. The speech balloon says, “Maybe they would like some sweets.”
