Politicians tend to distort the fact that it is they who are fed by the people!

A rhetorical battle erupted recently in Sarawak when a BN component party chief James Masing, claim that the people should not `lawan taukeh'(fight the boss).

They just need to keep to this new understanding to realise democracy in Sarawak!
