  • Farida got it right as the PM needs all the support he can get, obviously the PM has told Tajuddin to behave well and to think first before he opens up his big mouth. Ismail needs his backing so we can forget all the attempts and I kok sure that the PM has made it clear to him, I wrong move you will be pulled out from there. He has made a scene domestically, it's just a matter of time he would made a scene at the international stage.
