I'm getting back the motion, certainly it takes time.

Some injuries? What about the others?

He (Mahathir) expects the public to obey laws including restrictions against gatherings, but he himself has cast aside laws and the federal constitution.

Do not use police power and might to kick the people.

Clearly, many of our problems could have been avoided if there had been greater commitment to eradicating subsidies, monopolies and favoritism.

I have been advised that my expulsion was unlawful and against the federal constitution.

After four months, they still haven't interviewed the IGP. I'm shocked.

It's tough going in the first part of the trial, but what can we do?
