When the mediocre Prosecutor tried to use his ‘local grandeur” to trade insult with her; the country lost all its creditability especially trying to belittle her Alma Mater; not knowing where we have been over the last 30 years. A Jaguh kampong always has this ” Who are you and waht amI?” Indeed what are you? if not for the system? It takes an outsider to teach some of this little napolean some manner!

Nothing surprising about the stupid statement “Beng Hock would have weighed more if he was unconscious?” Remember what AAB said about Anwar’s DNA having “expired”? And these people are still holding on to that tattered piece of paper known as “RUKUNEGARA” which among others states that Malaysia is to be a nation built upon “SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY”!

That idiot was trying out Archimedes’ experiment when he dozed off in his bathtub. It seems more water overflowed from the tub while he was sleeping there. On waking up, he discovered his theory and ran naked through the streets of Putrajaya, yelling “Eureka!” Siti Insha was so shocked to see him in the buff that she went to school to scold her students.

I have just read one of the most fantastic news in Bolehland!
The main reason why our tainted judiciary has gone from bad to worst and genuine clowns were employed as Prosecuting Officers…. AG is busily and happily bonking away!…other matters can take a back seat. “Anwar, I am for real…yours, just a set up and made to deceive…..” Said the KING OF BONKERS.
Malaysia can now proudly claimed we have top 10 most untrusted scumbags!

If the officers of MACC have done nothing wrong or committed not criminal acts, why are they so afraid of being investigated, why the need for an inquest or RCI.
