ReplyDeleteGreetings from Land of Maples! Hohoho that's so funny! In Malaysia the Police is KING LAWMAKER! They are only answerable to UMNO!
What are those SOB afraid of - Malaysian terrorists in Ipoh, a threat to national security to nation?
ReplyDeleteSo those yellow shirts UMNO thugs are out to provoke and cause trouble and the police are looking the other directioin, not aware of things? What will they be bringing this time? A slaughtered babi head?
ReplyDeletePolice are not trained to arrest UMNO thugs, they will only arrest Opposition Pakatan Rakyat lawmakers - elected representatives and the rakyats who ironically pay their salaries!
