At least... they have cutted down the number of rehearsals...
It is always a nightmare driving with so many road closure leading to Padang area.
If i were the Prime Minister, i would rather save the NDP expenditure and give it to the cleaners, the poor, the needy...i would invite all of them and put them as the centre of celebration....
that should be the National Day which ought to be celebrated....the greatest day to remember...
