The prime minister's response came after his deputy has said Umno members must keep up with young people, who used such Gen Z terms as 'slay' and 'flex'.

From the original report

In a post on social media this evening, Anwar said he had arrived in New Delhi to represent Malaysia at the BRICS summit. He said he hoped his “students” would learn how “Madani Diplomacy” was translated into practice.

“Guru has safely arrived in New Delhi, India, to represent the country on the world stage,” he wrote. “Pray that this country’s diplomatic mission achieves its objectives. May the students learn from Guru how Madani Diplomacy is put into practice,” he said, ending the post with the word “Slayyy” and a nail-polish emoji with a yellow hand and pink manicured nails.

This is a brief of a report by another newsroom. The excerpt below is from the original.
