PERHAPS A FATAL MISS STEP FROM THE UMNO RUN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

Ouch!! You should be at the warong kopi today.
The comments over the increases were hilarious, some heavily tainted with profanity.
What surprises me most is that many of the most ardent supporters of the UMNO Run Federal Government (URFeG) were both furious and aghast over the quantum.
Perhaps this is THE fatal miss-step for URFeG.
