Komen:
Ini adalah grant yang diterima pada tahun 2005. Bagaimana pula dengan tahun 2007. Peningkatan tunjuk perasaan di Malaysia untuk memperjuangkan demokrasi telah menunjukkan peranan NED tidak boleh di pandang ringan. Negara yang kucar-kacir akan menyebabkan pihak luar mudah melemahkan negara kita. Bersih badan yang tidak berdaftar di Malaysia telah dua kali mengadakan tujuk perasaan. Baru-baru ini hindraf. Bagaimana mereka membawa penyokong lebih dari 20,000. Adakah pihak luar yang menaja perjalanaan mereka? Siapa?

Fikirkan lah. Sebuah bas boleh muat 40 orang. Kalau nak bawa penumpang dari Utara memerlukan perbelanjaan lebih kurang RM1500- RM2000. Kalau 10,000 orang. Berapa buah bas yang perlu digunakan. Siapa yang ada duit menaja mereka ke KL.

Kenapa mereka mahu negara kita lemah? Sebab mereka mahu orang-orang yang mereka sokong memerintah. Kalau orang mereka semuanya bagus dan adil.
