If you look closely, the door clearly displays the Pakatan Harapan logo. So what's the issue? bootstrap slideshow 'If we're willing to stoop to this level of dirty politics, it's very bad. This is slander… I hope those behind it learn a lesson. This is really bad,' he said when met after officiating the TEKUN Nasional Basic Entrepreneurship Seminar here today.
