20 Air Force Officers Accused in 'Yeye' Culture Scandal
KUALA LUMPUR (Date) — The Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) chief has revealed that 20 officers are believed to be involved in the "yeye" culture, a term referring to slackness and inefficiency within the military. The disclosure comes amid ongoing efforts to reform the armed forces and address long-standing issues of discipline and professionalism.
The "yeye" culture has been a persistent problem in Malaysia's military, often leading to delays, poor performance, and a lack of accountability. The recent investigation highlights the depth of the issue and the need for stricter enforcement of military standards.
Background: A Persistent Problem
The term “yeye” has been used for years to describe a culture of laziness, inefficiency, and a lack of commitment among some military personnel. Reports of delays in operations, poor maintenance of equipment, and a general lack of discipline have plagued the RMAF and other branches of the armed forces.
In recent years, efforts to address the issue have included training programs, disciplinary actions, and leadership changes. However, the persistence of the “yeye” culture suggests that deeper systemic reforms are necessary.
Key Developments: RMAF Chief’s Disclosure
In a recent statement, RMAF Chief General (name) revealed that 20 officers have been identified as being involved in the “yeye” culture. The disclosure came as part of an ongoing investigation into the issue, which has been conducted in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence.
The investigation has been ongoing for several months, with authorities reviewing reports of inefficiency and misconduct within the RMAF. The 20 officers identified are reportedly at various ranks and positions, highlighting the widespread nature of the problem.
Impact: Reform Efforts and Military Morale
The disclosure has sparked calls for immediate action to address the issue and restore discipline within the RMAF. The scandal has also raised concerns about the impact on military morale, as many officers and enlisted personnel have long expressed frustration over the “yeye” culture.

Analysts suggest that the scandal could lead to further reforms, including stricter disciplinary measures, improved training programs, and a greater emphasis on accountability. However, some fear that the issue may persist without a comprehensive overhaul of the military’s leadership and culture.
What Next: Expected Milestones
In the coming weeks, the RMAF and the Ministry of Defence are expected to announce further details about the investigation and the disciplinary actions that will be taken against the officers involved. The military is also likely to implement new measures to prevent the recurrence of such issues.
Long-term, the scandal may lead to broader reforms within the Malaysian armed forces, including a greater emphasis on discipline, professionalism, and accountability. The situation will be closely watched by military experts and the public as the RMAF works to restore trust and confidence in its ranks.
