• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I hope I will get ten minutes since this issue involves the Ministry of Lands as it involves the Ministry of State for Administration and National Security. This is a very important occasion, when all of us, as sober people can sort out the issue and assist the country, instead of blaming each other. I hope that we will still not lose the opportunity. The Chebyuk issue was originally a land problem which was converted into a political issue, and after that it became a security issue. I say that because yesterday, I was ... view
