Must be very tough for him to overcome the trauma that Penang was one of the first few states to rebel against BN central government rule. Such a fragile and small ego.

No need to answer your questions. When people ask you, you always say you don’t know, so no point layan your question lah.

Well Najib, if you had negotiated your other contracts well and managed 1MDB well, then Putrajaya would have enough money to fund PTMP itself. Also what did Penang gain when Najib bring his mate Jho Low and pay millions for gangnam style Psy to Penang just to fish votes?
