Kalau mahu membela nasib mangsa banjir, mulakan dahulu di Muar. Sumber: https://www.thes

It is unfortunate that social media did not exist back then to form the proper check and balance against the government of the day, which controlled nearly all of the media outlets accessible to the public, but luckily for us and the younger Malaysians, we finally know the true nature of Tun Dr Mahathir.
