Gerakan, Whether the state assembly was legally or illegal, you don`t even know or can`t differentiate.

Dumbo DAP=UMNO! Who says this is a local council election?
Don’t you understand English? The first paragraph of this article explains all! Dumbo!
What else can you do but calling other people “dumbo” ?
Please stop promoting a LIE !!
1. This is NOT an election.
2. Those who are “standing for election” will NOT get elected.
3. And the “council”, they are NOT City Council.
What Lim Guan Eng has promised the Penangites is a Local City Council election.
Not this.
Please stop promoting this LIE !!!
