Akta Orang Orang BN should be enacted in 2009 to protect those who 'don't know' about the law, since BN members always think they're above the law... they may forget about it sometimes and with the new Act, they can clown themselves in front of the House of Looneys even more... or maybe waste a little bit more spit in criticizing each other in front of national TV...
Last but not least, in Malaysia, money seems to be the only law over here.
I bet even Pak Lah and the DG of the Welfare Department don't know, or pretend to have no idea, about it.
thank for the information that not met to be information for us
i'm begging to see the rest of your avatar....he!he!
It seems that those in authorirty. e.g. the police, town councils....also do not know...
