Pahang Harapan Youth regrets use of Tengku Hassanal's nameSuch action was clearly disrespectful and marred the image of the royal institution, it says. Bak kata tun. Raya kena ikut parti memerintah. Klu negeri tu BN maka raja kena cenderung ke BN lah. Siapa penganjur “Santai Teh Tarik Bersama 4 Putera Mahkota'? Terdesak sangat ke,sehingga menggunakan nama2 Tengku Mahkota berkenaan tanpa kebenaran? demi kepentingan politik yg sempit. Bootlickers. These bootlickers are doing what even Umno and Umno Youth would not do.
