Anyway the trick is set up in Singapore and come in that way

This is China guys ! Minus the reserves , minus common prosperity , minus the logic . Makes me puke

One way out of it Never ever give to the umno-pn-pus scums. Choose amongst the Melaka Portuguese, Sabahan and Sarawakians - they are Bumipitra too

Dimintanya diri dipapah, Sedangkan dah diberinya tongkat; Enam dekad berlalu sudah, Sifat pergantungan terpahat jadi adat!

Greedy. Come on. You go work for it if you want a share of the business. Such naked greed!!

I can only say this government is worst than the communist.Bye-bye fair trade and democracy

Wow. Talk about taking your rice bowl away from you.

Time to make new plans
