This is a reminder to the leaders of my political party to be always be wary of the “old guard” from DAP. It is true that currently we are together in an alliance called Pakatan Rakyat, and I would not have it any other way. The other alternative would be to join the ultra-racist party called United Malays National Organisation, and we certainly cannot have that!

After checking the features, I immediately bought it without any further questions.
