Datuk Seri, biarkan saja ... kita tak rugi kalau depa nak bohong
diri-sendiri.

Do we really want them? Ha ... ha ...

It is not the first time I've come across such "make others look bad
to make themselves look good" epic from that island republic ... it's

Not only that they discriminate based on skin colour, they also treat
a person who wears skirt unfairly. Interested to know the full story?

Ha ... ha ... My Singaporean friends confirm that it's true.
