Mana Mana Umno. Mana Mana Maruah Melayu. Mana Mana Pejuang Melayu. No more such screams from Utusan Staffs?

Blame DAP!!!! Must blame them! If not... Blame agenda yahudi also works.

Well, let's hope all those who attended the 'integrity/dignity congress' (or whatever it was called), will protest publicly and loudly about the loss of dignity in having so many (of their ilk) lose their job(s) - just like that! But do I think it will happen? Fuck....No!!!!

You reap what you sow...consequences are inevitably shaped by past & present actions. It's too late to feel regret.
