all the best captain, sir.
ReplyDeleteSalam Capt,
ReplyDeleteWhy is the police so worried about citizens taking a peaceful morning stroll from point A to point B? Really, one day we should abolish this archaic law about the right to assemble.
Anyway, to those who can make it to the event, go forth and make our voices heard.
capt., i want to divert a little. though it is sad from pkr's view that Essam has decided to rejopin umno, but the old man concluded that he was a trojan horse! it really looks like he is trying DESPERATELY to hold on to anything to get attention!! His days are gone, let the younger generation take over. he may disagreeon certain principles, so what. get your sons to state their s' in the open forum. don't hide behind the sympathy of the lesser read public to vend your unscrupulous tactics on others!!
