So I simply say some random name.

He says ya. Save my new number, I changed number oredi.

I tell him OK. WhatsApp me later.

The next day, he called, didn't answer. I WhatsApp him, asked him what is his name, he replied "it's me".

Ask him what is his name again. He ask me back why.

I replied him, to verify.

Then he deleted his WhatsApp messages.

From his voice, sounds like Northern West Malaysia Chinese.

Possible outcome of coalition

RicoT — Mon, 21 Nov 2022 07:37:32 +0800

1) PH + GPS + GRS + Warisan = MA63 agenda prioritised, court cluster charges continue, popular votes

2) PN + BN + GPS + GRS + Warisan = Court cluster charges drop, back to square one, last chance to free flow songlap before the end of Ringgit

3) PH + BN = Court cluster charges drop, MA63 will never have another chance and S&S resources will continue to flow to Malaya, Sarawak will be asked to pay up debts

4) PH + PN = Whatever reform to constitution is possible, permanently eliminating MA63 and forcing S&S to give up their rights to limited autonomy and become a state of Malaysia instead of a partner in the federation via constitution

If S&S leaders really want MA63, they should join PH, else they are just talk cock sing song play with their own ding dong.
