PETALING JAYA: Kinabatangan MP Datuk Bung Moktar Radin said all Malaysian leaders should follow Russian President Vladimir Putin's example in performing simple tasks, like pumping their own fuel.  

Bung posted a picture of the Russian leader pumping fuel for his car, with the caption: "See this guy, can all our VVIP do the same as Russia's president?"  

"Our leaders should do these simple jobs so that the people will be pleased with you," said Bung when contacted by The Star on Monday.  

He said leaders should be seen doing everyday tasks by themselves, like any normal person.  

"I have been pumping my own petrol for a long time, especially when I am in my own kawasan (area) (Kinabatangan) and travelling in the kampung (village).  

"I am like any normal person," said Bung.
