Bold actions indeed for those who sat exams before the hustler narrative took over the nation. A society that has lost faith in hard work and stopped playing by the rules is a sorry sight to behold. It gives the synonyms of hustler to include criminal, lawbreaker, offender, villain, black hat, delinquent, malefactor, culprit, wrongdoer, transgressor, sinner. We are now in the throes of the hustler narrative whose ramifications will be broader and deeper than the damage the YK92 did. While our already-poisoned politics is its vehicle, its result is to render critical pillars of any society ­— like education, hard work, honesty, rule of law — useless.
