Let’s make up. Tennis anyone?

“frivolous, vexatious and tantamount to an abuse of court process”
sue me sue you culture in bolehland and Ministry of Higher Education can create a syllabus in Law Faculty and export it to the world ! LOL
60 million vs 3 billion ??? A small change, correct ??? By the way, it is only HighCourt decision. Hmmm remember Perak MB case ??? Is there any reason to celebrate for pakatan machais ???
By the way are you refering to the corrupted 3 billions of your Ah cheat. Well Anwar million is legal as awarded by the court. Of course I remember the Perak case where a billion project for a high court judge who preside in the illegal grab of Perak. So you are so proud of all the corruption of billions and billons. What can we say of someone who has no dignity and (is) a wannabe
Gerakan K reads too much Utusan!
Good, how much it is. Hope it is in the millions
