Saya bersetuju bahawa Saudara telah tersilap dalam isu majlis angkat sumpah MB Perak tetapi saya juga sangat hormat apabila Saudara dengan cepat menyedari kesilapan tersebut dan dengan segera memperbetulkannya dan melakukan tindakan yang tepat dengan memohon maaf kepada pihak istana secara peribadi. Tahniah atas tindakan anda tersebut.
Nah, sekarang Terengganu pula menghadapi isu yang sama dimana 23 Adun dengan segera mengumumkan untuk memboikot majlis angkat sumpah MB Terengganu yang dijangka akan diadakan esok sebaik sahaja ayam tambatan mereka Idris Jusoh tidak terpilih sebagai MB. Seperti biasa, media UMNO Utusan Malaysia akan bersikap ‘double-standard’ dalam menanggani isu ini. Maksud saya secara spesifik ialah bila mana Saudara mengeluarkan statement dalam isu MB Perak dulu, Utusan Malaysia dengan segera dan ‘bold’ terus dengan muka depan “DAP Biadap’, dan dikuti dengan pelbagai rentetan propaganda dan provokasi lagi. Saya sebagai rakyat Terengganu mahukan perkara yang sama kali ini dilakukan oleh Utusan Malaysia dalam menanggani isu 23 Adun yang biadap ini termasuk Idris Jusoh. Tajuk yang perlu keluar dimuka depan mereka sekurang-kurangnya ’23 Adun Biadap’. Mereka semua juga perlu memohon maaf seperti mana yang Saudara lakukan dahulu.
Saya amat berharap Saudara dapat memantau isu ini dengan diberi perhatian istimewa agar UMNO khasnya sedar jangan hanya pandai melihat orang lain biadap tetapi mereka sendiri boleh bersikap biadap dan bertindak sesuka hati mereka. Macamlah negara ini tiada undang-undang.
Sekian,

There are two set of rules, one for Umnoputras and one for the Rakyat.
If the Unmoputras do it they call it the voice of the voters and while others do it is call biadap.
Let the do what they want and come 2013, they, the Umnoputra will know the effects…….
Maybe the Umnoputras should be rename UmnoMaharaja.

It shows that Uncle Lim who was under enormous pressure from both sides then has acted wisely all along.
A lot of bloggers who have been so super quick to cast hard/ruthless judgement on you owe you an apology.
But for now let just move on tactfully!

Sekarang rakyat akan dapat menilai parti Melayu UMNO yang selama ini berjuang untuk Agama, bangsa, Negara dan Raja-raja….
Sebenarnya mereka adalah barisan sampah yang paling jijik sekali tetapi ingin menonjolkan diri baik dan pembela…
Saya sekeluarga tidak menyesal menyokong DAP/PKR/PAS pada PRU12..
Apa guna jadi barua/balaci Melayu UMNO yang terang2 mementingkan diri sendiri dan kroni2…
Perebutan kuasa MB di Terengganu cukup jelas mempamerkan moral rendah pemimpin UMNO/BN…
no class…..

Background of looming constitutional crisis: Terrenganu palace preferred Kijal assemblyperson Ahmad Said as MB and gave appointment letter.
Umno president and prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Deputy Najib and all 22 BN assemblypersons, excluding Ahmad had backed former menteri besar Idris Jusoh to retain the menteri besar post. Federal Umno leadership also issued a warning to Ahmad not to accept the post, threatening to sack him from the party. Threat was carried out and he was stripped off UMNO membership.
Malaysiakini writer K Kabilan reported on 23rd March what a local constitution expert Prof Abdul Aziz Bari said, that is:-
“Under the present situation, it would be difficult for the party-less Ahmad to assume the post”.
Prof Abdul Aziz Bari said that even if Ahmad is sworn-in, the BN state representatives can call for a vote of no confidence against him.
“In such circumstance, the sultan would then have to name another person who enjoys the support of the majority of the elected representatives or call for a snap state election.”
Prof said that there was also another precedent to this in Malaysia, going back to the situation in Kelantan in 1977.
“In Kelantan, the PAS assemblypersons – the majority in the house – passed a motion of no confidence against their own menteri besar Mohamed Nasir.
“As it happened however he refused to resign and this gave the federal government an opportunity to declare emergency on the state and eventually called a snap election – and won the state – in 1978,” he added.

Syabas, Md Asmawi! Saya bersetuju dengan kandungan artikel.
Sdr Lim Senior,
We responded strongly and many did give out `kutuks’ or knocks, that you went against the stream of thoughts and feelings in the Perak MB issue, and you did well.
Many have not spoken up on the Terengganu issue.
From Perlis to Terengganu! It means that there is a great shaking of the powers, and PM is losing his grip, not a good sign – if he holds on like this.
There must be a reason. The Sultan, who is King, must have his reasons, as in Perlis. In the Malaysian harmonious way, PM should withdraw and look for another candidate who is suitable. Why is the Kijal candidate not suitable to the PM.
Dato’ Idris Jusoh should also approach the Sultan rather the press and public. He cannot possible run the State, if he is at loggerheads with the Sultan.
We, as ordinary folks, do not know the inside story, but I am sure PM should address this issue with the Sultan, and it should not become controversial and hit front pages.
BN and PM@PL cannot possible win this salvo. It heightens confusion and shows weak leadership, and using the Perak example, the 22 assemblymen have done wrong.
The ongoing political uncertainty does not bode well for the nation.
Next question: “Who is in control?”

A big thank you to En Asmawi for rushing to defend our beloved Kit. I did not agree with Kit’s initial rash behaviour but he was gentleman enough to apologise, to Malaysians in general, and also to HRH Dr Nazrin in a private audience.
To understand Kit’s predicament at the formative stage of the Perak government I would like you all to refer to a very beautifully writen letter to Malaysiakini by ProArte which I reproduce below. I can understand the dilemma faced by Kit at the time when he was trying to put up the state government.
“It seems that the response to Kit Siang’s initial objection to Nizar, the new Menteri Besar of Perak has not been fair or rational. In fact is has been hysterical without any real regard for the truth and facts.
How can Kit Siang be anti-Malay or anti-Muslim if the DAP CEC which Kit Siang is a member, endorsed Jamalludin of PKR who is Malay and a Muslim for the post of MB?
The Regent of Perak is regarded as an intellectual and has publicly gone on record exhorting Malaysians to feel beyond a shadow of doubt that irrespective of their colour ,creed or geographical location, they really belong to this land.
There was a genuine feeling that the DAP candidate would be considered for the MB-ship by virtue of having the overwhelming number of seats in the coalition as would be the case in a fair democratic process. In the event, the democratic spirit was subverted due to adherence to the constitutional restriction which barred non-Malays and non-Muslims from the highest office.
The royalty, in their wisdom, chose not to waive this constitutional caveat which they had the authority to do. Surely, any reasonable person would understand the great disappointment of a party which is rejected because its candidate is told in effect that he does not really ‘belong’ to this nation and hence cannot serve in the highest office because he has the wrong colour and religion.
To further compound the problem, the candidate from PAS, a party with the least number of seats was chosen. Anwar and Kit Siang had recommended Jamaluddin of PKR in the event of Ngeh being excluded. How does this square with the democratic process?
It is well known that DAP did not have a pact with PAS and was dead against their stated aims of setting up an Islamic state and introducing Sharia and Hudud law. After all, it is Hadi Awang who has called for the death penalty for apostates and has yet to make a retraction. They may have down-played these goals for this election but who is to say they will not renege?
We must understand that Hadi reneged on the BA manifesto in 1999 and tried to introduce a whole slew of Islamic laws which were discriminatory such the Kharaj Tax for non-Muslims, including support for the Taliban. The 2004 election rout revealed to PAS that even Muslims were dead against their vision for Malaysia.
The people who voted for DAP did not vote for a PAS MB. Are they not allowed to protest at the triple injustice?
1) The injustice of not having the MB-ship on the basis of having a candidate with the wrong colour and religion.
2)The injustice of the endorsed candidate from the DAP/PKR pact who is Malay and Muslim being rejected.
3) The injustice of appointing an MB from a party with the least seats which wants to introduce the death penalty for apostates.
In this mad rush for power, the bloggers – with their disparate ideologies – have come down like a ton of bricks on Kit Siang purely because DAP had legitimately chosen to show their deep disappointment by threatening not to attend the swearing-in ceremony. How else could DAP protest? Kit Siang was not being biadap to the royalty. Yes, he did apologise to the Regent but he apologised on the basis of the perceived insult, and not on the legitimacy of the protest.
As things stand, we have the Lina Joy who has been a Christian for more than 10 years and who wants to marry her Christian boyfriend but cannot do so. This is because the civil courts have denied her her constitutional right by failing to recognise her Christian faith and have unconstitutionally imposed the Muslim label on her. The Shariah courts which Anwar Ibrahim has so much confidence in has separated Revathi from her beloved Hindu husband because it refuses to accept that she is Hindu despite undergoing six months of psychological torture in an Islamic rehabilitation centre, in a failed attempt to get her to renounce her Hindu faith. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are numerous other cases. What answers do Anwar and PAS have for these wronged people?
The above are not trifling issues and go to the heart of what democracy, human rights and dignity is all about. The cybertroopers who attacked Kit Siang’s blog with their ‘berak’ (as Dean Johns puts it) have shown their true colours. The scurrying for power has seen racial discrimination, religious bigotry and the subversion of the democratic process win the order of the day.
Isn’t this BN all over again? Quo vadis BR?”
#12 by billgates on Sunday, 23 March 2008 - 5:35 pm
YB Kit is right when he used the “Smash UMNO political hegemony” in its 12th GE campaign. UMNO have been arrogant, rude and recalcitrant and I hope those Malay idiots that have protested recently in Perak, Penang and Selangor do the same in Terengganu.
UMNO act as if they are above the law. And they are also right about NEP. But … puiiiiiih. The rakyat all have witness the ugly side of UMNO.
I as a Malaysian am now demanding that the 23 UMNO Aduns to apologize to DYMM Sultan Mizan. I am also demanding that Utusan Melayu do the same on what they did to Kit.
Shame on you UMNO malays and Utusan Melayu … ibarat meludah ke langit, kena muka sendiri.
#13 by penangites on Sunday, 23 March 2008 - 5:42 pm
Worst still, UMNO object their own party member to be named MB?
can imagine what happen when MCA, MIC. Gerakan, or even SUPP and etc parties members, have been named MB/CM by the royalty?
Would advise Sdr Kit and other BR leadership to remain humble and not quick to attack UMNO on this issue, lets all rakyat see for themselves the true color of UMNO?
#14 by nahoda on Sunday, 23 March 2008 - 5:46 pm
Media Malaysia yang pro be end khususnya umno paling biadap. umh no pula bermaharaja rela di atas batasan undang undang. Demonstrasi tanpa permit, engkar perintah sultan. Ditambah pula taktik taktik kotornya…..stop project sebab rakyat tak pilih be end dan cuba memanaskan isu perkauman melalui DEB.
Cuba bayangkan apa akan terjadi kepada malaysia and raykatnya bila ada orang yang sebegitu perangai and tingkah laku memerintah. Rakyat dituduh bila kalah, ini pula keputusan Sultan dicabar.
Peliknya, leader diam diam saje. Umpama membenarkan mereka bertindak.
Harap 2013 nanti tahu tahu lah memilih.
#15 by I Malaysian on Sunday, 23 March 2008 - 5:48 pm
This unfairness is what we citizens have been fighting for thus long. They call this “Ketuanan Melayu” among the small minded backward thinking Umnoputras. No matter how big or how bad, it will never be an issue because they fight for Malay rights. This is like Talibans bombing the innocents in the name of GOD, an act the world world condemns
Earlier it was the protest rally at Komtar, Penang and now it’s boycot call by UMNO in Terengganu. Real hypocrites.
#16 by Jeffrey on Sunday, 23 March 2008 - 5:51 pm
Adat and respect would require UMNO state reps to meet ruler to resolve amicably differences of views over appointment of MB Terengganu amicably.
If one goes strictly by law and constiutional practices alone, under our constitutional monarchy parliamentary system – as distinct from absolute monarchy system – it would be normal for Ruler to appoint MB who commands the confidence of a majority of the state assembly as advised by the PM of the government formed from majority in parliament.
Idris Jusoh has clear support from the majority of the Terengganu assemblymen a notch better than Shahidan, in Perlis who may have the PM’s confidence but not necessarily majority of Perlis assemblymen.
In an impasse with ruler Terengganu assemblymen in Terengganu state council could pass motion of no confidence on ruler’s appointee Ahmad Said, who is party – less anyway.
Repeated no-confidence motions on palace appointees could force the ruler, in a worst case scenario, to dissolve the state assembly and precipitate snap elections, thereby giving PAS/PKR a chance of a ‘second bite of the cherry’ to win this oil rich state!

Lucu betul budak budak Barisan Naional di Terengganu,sampai nak boikot majlis angkat sumpah MB negeri Terengganu.Tak kan mereka ni tak tahu siapa dia Idris Jusoh.
Ada lagi yang cakap mereka akan letak jawatan jika Idris gagal di lantik sebagai MB.Semua ni cakap sahaja,kalau berani letak jawatan sekarang sebab Idris tidak mungkin di pilih-lah.
#18 by vehir on Sunday, 23 March 2008 - 5:55 pm
What so special to name Idris as MB. He was a puppet MB for Trengganu. Patrick Badawi was running the govenment with KJ wiping out all the Petronas royalties.
Now if Ahmad Said succeeds then he will have to cover all this. But he is now against Idris. So BN Trengganu needs someone pro to PM and KJ. They have to use Idris as the MB to plot their business deals for another 4 years.

BY THE WAY, SINCE NOBODY “DARE” TO TAKE UP THE POST OF TRENGGANU MB, CAN THE SULTAN APPOINT SOMBODY FROM PAS TO TAKE OVER?

When the “Kataks” from Sabah jumped over from the Opposition to the BN years ago, it was ok. Now that they may lose Assemblymen to the Opposition, it’s wrong & “tak bermaruah”.
When HINDRAF had the street Demos, it was “not our culture” & so they were blasted with Tear Gas & Water Cannons & their leaders thrown under ISA (they are still locked up!). However, when UMNO Members have Street Demonstrations, it’s ok as they are not happy!
Here again, when LKS protested to HRH Dr. Raja Nasrin’s choice it was “Biadap” & he should not only make an apology but make a public apology also. Now they do the same thing in Terengganu & to top it all they are going against our DYMM Seri Paduka Baginda Agong!
To UMNO & BN, please note it’s … Kesetiaan Kepada Raja & Negara not “Kesetiaan Kepada UMNO & BN”!
#21 by Jeffrey on Sunday, 23 March 2008 - 6:08 pm
Recent events show everyone is beginning to assert independence from BN’s governance. First wave is Rakyat’s on 8th March; now State Rulers in Perlis and Terrengganu over appointments of MBs. In Gua Musang Ku Li asking for EGM to challenge leadership. Meanwhile Rafidah says Wanita UMNO not represented at cabinet level.
The fall out of political tsunamy of March 8th still reverberates, and come April 15 when Anwar becomes ‘qualified’ to hold political positions, who knowse when is in store???
Some Use the word “implosion” within BN as such a term is understood to mean some kind of sudden collapse inward, a compression.
I reminded of poet WB Yeats who wrote these stanzas :-
“Turning and turning in the gyre,
The falcon cannot hear the falconer,
Things fall apart,
The centre cannot hold,
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world”. :)

#23 by shortie kiasu on Sunday, 23 March 2008 - 6:13 pm
This is the second “slap” on the face of PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, it must be painful and humiliating when his so-called “appointments” of state MB were not recognized by the Rulers of the state of Perlis and Terenggu.
Since they are all UMNO state assemblymen, they should have no qualm as to who the rulers preferred instead of who Abdullah preferred.
Under the state constitution, the ruler has the perogative power over the appointment of MB. So who is disrespectiveful?
Now UMNO went further by sacking the MB appointed from the party. Where the fiasco is heading, when the fiasco is going to end? Good luck!

Not just BIADAP.,

This is excerpt from Malaysia kini news:

Bakal MB terlucut keahlian Umno
Mar 23, 08 10:35am
kemaskini 11:30am Dalam perkembangan yang semakin menggemparkan di Terengganu, calon menteri besar Datuk Ahmad Said telah terlucut keahliannya dalam Umno kerana mengengkari arahan Umno Malaysia supaya tidak menerima watikah pelantikannya itu.
Ahmad, yang gagal mengangkat sumpah jawatan tersebut hari ini akibat pemulauan 23 lagi wakil rakyat BN, menerima watikah pengisytiharan pelantikannya daripada Yang Dipertua Majlis Penasihat Pemangku Raja (MPPR), Tengku Sri Panglima Raja Tengku Baderulzaman Sultan Mahmud, di Istana Tetamu, Kuala Terengganu.
Bagaimanapun, tarikh upacara angkat sumpah belum ditentukan lagi.
Arahan larangan tersebut dikeluarkan oleh Umno dan BN melalui setiausaha agungnya Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor malam tadi, beberapa jam selepas pejabat Sultan Terengganu mengumumkan Ahmad, 51, dilantik menggantikan Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh.
Tengku Adnan dilaporkan berkata, Ahmad tidak berhak berbuat demikian kerana Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, yang juga presiden Umno, telah mengeluarkan surat cara pelantikan kepada Idris Jusoh untuk jawatan tersebut.
Tengku Adnan mengingatkan Ahmad bahawa Adun itu akan dikenakan tindakan disiplin Umno dan “menanggung akibat” jika menerima pelantikan dan mengangkat sumpah jawatan menteri besar.

Recently, YB Lim’s initial act of wanting to boycott on the appointment of the MB of Perak from PAS caused an uproar. But he had quickly and subsequently apologised to HRH the Sultan and the Regent of Perak. This is the showings of a true statesman and a gentleman.
But after that, still not satisfied with the very public apology by YB Lim, there were a bunch of stoopeed idiots from UMNO who had held a demonstration in Ipoh, accusing YB Lim of all sorts of things including insulting the Malay royalty, race, etc. Their demonstration was apparently to protect their Malayness and also to the palace as YB Lim had insulted the palace directly and them indirectly. This was despite the fact that YB Lim had already officially apologised.
The event was also well publicised in all the MSM.
Well, you know what? We need to get that same bunch of bigot and zero brain content UMNOputras who did the demonstration to now go to Terengganu and do the exact same thing to their colleagues in that state.
So like to boikot mah! Why not now you all go and do the same thing to the 23 ADUN in Terengganu as they had blatantly done the exact same thing there in Terengganu. They also boikot now mah. You all must go and protest as they too have insulted the royal family in Terengganu there and also your “Malaynessness”. They, the 23 ADUNs are still maintaining their stand so far. No apology and even challeging the royal’s choice of MB. They even want to quit if made to accept a choice that is not in their favour. So, I figure you need to organise an even a bigger for this lah now as they have outdone YB Lim!
Go lah, go there now – scream and shout. Bring all your posters along. Go and protest and send the 23 ADUNS the same message. And during the protest, I dare the BN biased media to cover the event in the same angle.
So how about it, TV3, RTM1 and 2, Bernama, Star, NST, etc…? Please ask them to go and protest lah – then you all give them the same coverage as what you have done previously in Ipoh. You must maintain your very high standard and professional journalism ethics mah, right?
My take, you all no balls lah!

If they do not print them in the headline, the rakyat can then officially announce the UTUSAN as a UMNO propaganda and to classify UTUSAN as gossip publication, rather than part of the MSM publications.
They are doing a lot of harm to the Malaysian people by publishing one-sided, biased information!

Many were quick to jump all over YB Lim KS over the Perak MB issue recently, even to the extend of expressing doubts on the viability of the DAP/PKR/PAS coalition after that. Some even expressed awe at BN’s 50 years experience at being the government. Events in recent weeks has however, exposed the so called 50 years of BN experience in running a government. This ‘experience’ include among other things, massive perversion of the judiciary, the government administrative machinery, etc,etc, for just as massive corrupt personal gains by BN members and their cronies. And what more now, we have, the mother of all ‘biadap’ expression, by UMNO-BN towards HRH The Sultan of Terengganu.
Give me an inexperienced BR government any time, I say, keep your 50 years of BN rubbish!
#32 by LALILOo on Sunday, 23 March 2008 - 7:41 pm
I remember not so long ago, DAP’s LKS voiced to his mates to boycott the CM swear-in at the palace. As a result of that, the sultan was angry. UMNO was angry. The malays was angry. And so poor LKS had to apologized for his action.
However, now in Terengganu, something major is taking place. Something that makes LKS episode sounds like child’s play.
Not only are we merely talking about calling for a boycott, THEY actually BOYCOTTED. THEY actually went AGAINST the sultan.
Er..doesn’t that amount to DERHAKA? And doesn’t derhaka kepada sultan carry a heavy penalty? Or maybe pancung kepala of sorts?
But the point is that why UMNO and BN is so silent on this act of contempt? And that Azhar guy from Penang as well?
Why is it that back in those days, when the opposition stage a boycott, they said that it is not our culture to do such a thing. When Bersih and Hindraf boycott, the police came in with water cannons and dispersed them in an instant, and of course, sent 5 men to jail under the ISA act.
But it was alright when UMNO did that in Penang. Again, that Azhar guy was hailed as a hero of sorts. Also, it was still alright when UMNO did that boycot thing again in Selangor to press CM Khalid not to select a deputy CM to protect the malays.
Where were the water cannons? Gas cannisters? or FRU swooping in on the protesters? Why weren’t there anyone thrown into ISA?
Is it because you are in power and that you can preach and bend the rules as you pleased, PM?

Don’t run down LKS. Lim is a real gentleman to apologise to HRH the moment he knew his mistakes. But UMNO men always think theyare right. That is the reason why the country is going south wards. Fortunately the oppositions are partilly in cnotrl to check wrong doings of BN.

I wonder if it is pure coincidence that the Agong who has just completed his term and the Agong who replaced him both acted in like manner to disgree with Pak Lah’s MB appointees? Perhaps they know something we rakyat don’t
know.
YB Lim had the last laugh. UMNO and UMNO Youth, Kerisman included, must be looking for the nearest hole to hide their faces. So too, the main media and their sycophant editors- especially those who have sold their souls to the UMNO devils. By keeping quiet they are yelling their hypocrisy from all the rooftops.

Dear YB
The situation at Perak & Terengganu were different. Whilst Perak was an act of true democratic principles (remember there was a prior agreement between PKR-DAP…then came PAS; but this is no more an issue) in which DAP has in goodwill honoured the decision of the Perak Royalty. In the end everyone was happy-happy. The Perak issue was not against the Perak Royalty on the whole but never mind that now…let’s look at our poor bros in Terengganu. Here, we are talking about a single party – UMNO – strongly against the Royalty…this is a revolt & treason in many accounts.
I also believe the way Terengganu was wrestled in a many suspicious way…but that’s not the issue here yet, unless we ask everyone in Terengganu what they think about the UMNO-gang doing is right or wrong…going against their Royals. The UMNO-gang claimed that a decision against them is a decision against the Rakyat…ya-kah? So, what they are saying is that the Rakyat voted them to go against the Royalty or have given them the birth right to do so!? Here is again an example of UMNO-arrogance.
There must be more bigger reasons why the Royals do not want their man…whom we all know is buddy-buddy with the infamous SIL. Why is PM AAB so quiet…who is he going to send now to sort the mess while he enjoy the sofa of Sri Perdana? Nobody wants to go as it is against the Royals & the Agong. Here’s a hint on why the Terengganu Royals are upset about UMNO: Where did all the contracts go to? Another X-File…in the SIL cabinet. Now we know how many people & who are involved in all of the hanky-panky in Terengganu. It’s all over the papers!!! Thanks to The Star. Too bad YB Ahmad Said is just a trustworthy man the Royals have faith in for the people of Terengganu & that he is no golf-buddy with the SIL / YB IJ. For being that person, he got axed by UMNO. Very quickly too I say.
Daulat Tuanku-3x. I believe the whole of Malaysia right now is behind our HRH Agong. Terengganu should go into total bi-elections (void the 12th GE results for Terengganu) & this time, shall see what happens to BN without hantu-voters, multi-ic-voter & postal-votes. This time will be the real Rakyat Terengganu votes. Then we will also see if the Rakyat Terengganu voted them to be biadap to their Royalty.
How do we tell our Agong that the Rakyat is behind him on this?

Bet you all the UMNO-gang there don’t know the Rukunegara at all. They only know Banknegara…

If UMNO-gang there want to prove that it is the wish of the Terengganu Rakyat (to act against the Royalty), then they should all resign & contest the elections again to prove their point.
The Tun Salleh Abbas video testimonial about how BN has raped their oil-$ on Malaysia Kini should be aired in all internet-cafe all over Terengganu…even in the most remote areas.
