tunku : action should be taken against this loser nizar. he thinks he can just simply says what he likes to anyone. he has been lying, talking craps and utter seditious words a lot lately but till now no action is taken against him. that is why his wings is getting bigger and bigger.
so what if Sultan Johor bought the registration number of WWW 1 for RM520k. so what if the King bought the www 5 registration number for RM350k? they could have requested it from the government for free but no they paid for it. the money will go to the government and eventually to the people.why is this nizar and all the opposition losers making a fuss on it? no better thing to do or no better issue to play with? what about those toyota camry cars bought by nizar administration before with double digit numbers? how much did they spend on it USING state goverment's money.
