While Malaysians are bewildered by many Statutory Declaration (SD), many sexual allegations (be it natural or unnatural sex), inflation woes which is expected to exceed 6%, political instability, worldwide economic slowdown, domino effect as a consequence of the recent fuel price hike, there is one absolute silent winner out there.

Many unanswered questions.

And over and over he has violated our trust. So what can we do now?
We can’t do anything basically, I guess the only thing we can do is hoping PR has something to announce in 916.
