FMTNews Pakatan The worst PH in its infancy is still struggling to have a grasp of governing the country as a whole.

Flying car, 3rd National car etc Only Mestecc is aligned with PH's objectives Poor SUARAM. They thought by supporting PH, they will get better Government. But Harapan tinggal Harapan.
