Hogging the right lane? More like policing the roads and ensuring that twats like u don't go crazy on the right lane on your beat up 20 year old Proton Wira!

It's not that our PM doesn't want to drive on his own. He was so busy running the country and collecting his million dollar salary that he had no time to take up driving lessons. Our multimillionaire PM would have driven a Bentley himself if he could. Long live PAP
