  My comments:
          What a big show to make that many people just hate to see.  Will these people still be in office after 2021 Sarawak election?   I think that it is so idiotic of these political thugs to waste their time indulging in such a meaningless gesture which means nothing to upgrade themselves for the interest of the people.  It is no doubt a wonderful show that Taib Mahmud has always expected his subjects to pay on him.   Just wait and see lah what will happen in 2021 Sarawak election!
