    Look at our politicians. So fat that they hardly can walk straight because their tummies are so heavy. Our children are just consuming something to survive. Their parents are working like slaves in the Middle East so that politicians can import luxury cars including present and former presidents.Siri

    Lal, these buggers need the money to buy most expensive luxury vehicles. Even MY3 and MR imported two Mercedes just recently as if they don't have vehicles. Except a minority of good politicians, rest should be locked up in jail for life.
