• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know what the hon. Member is talking about here. I hold Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science. So, I do not know what he is talking about here. Being a councillor does not mean I have never gone to school. view

• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Keynan does not want me to discuss these issues. I want to discuss what I want because I have my points here. view

• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my opinion, the Committee should have come up with new policies. I have said time and again, as long as we do not go into manufacturing, we are not getting anywhere. Heaping all the problems on the Governor is not fair.
