No doubt the housing developers have a very powerful lobby - but it is our vote that puts this government in business!
Malaysians give the UMNO/BN government the mandate to govern for more than five decades.
And such faith has been rewarded with death and destruction!
If Malaysians are that stupid, then I say that they deserve it!
