Rozhan 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2007 Wasting rakyat's money just to buka puasa a few hundred kilometers away?! Tak berkat la tu! Better use the money and hold buka puasa gatherings for the poor and the marginalized. I am sure there are many in Terengganu and elsewhere in the country.

Kenneth T 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2007 When they highlighted something that the flight was delay, it's a trick behind the coming election. They attempted to get supporters that they're doing a favour for the RAKYAT. I wonder if they will still attend the function if they have to dig theirs' pocket for the expenses.

Rozhan 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2007 Some politicians think they are holy people. They feel even holier when people kiss their hands wherever they go. Those feeling less holy will try to rub shoulders and associate themselves with these holy politicians so as to feel holy as well. When elections come, they will suggest that they are holy people sent from the heavens to save the rakyat from their misery. Those who want happiness must vote for these holy people because they hold the key to the rakyat's well-being. At the same time they will accuse those opposing them as lesser humans because they are not holy people as they are. And kissing hands goes on... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next time I'm on AK, the next thing I know, some Dato' Seri or Tan Sri is sitting next to me, grumbling about how bad was it for him that he was overtaken on the tarmac by a few dozen passengers during the 'rush' despite him taking Xpress Boarding. So maybe I just belanja him AirAsia RM7 nasi lemak and who knows, I can get some big time government contracts from him (Hahaha...in my dream!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
