Quotable Quotes
"My fellow voters, vote for democracy. Vote for a strong opposition. Vote to deny a two-thirds’ majority. Do this and you will see the difference when the next parliament meets." - P Ramakrishnan
"only Malaysians who are capable, hard working, bold and scrupulously honest would be allowed to serve in positions of responsibility. Those who are inefficient, incompetent and most importantly, corrupt would be held in absolute and utter contempt by society" - Raja Nazrin
