GreenPuma9227 : Hope the Court will find him guilty and sentence him to jail for many years.Real trouble maker.

The people of Selangor : This old man Rais Yatim himself ask for it. He thinks he is smarter than anyone. He has no respect to the Yamtuan. Busybody

RedWolf1406 : Rais has been too arrogant!!! He was never regarded as an expert in Law, never had any outstanding achievement during his tenure as MB in NS. Its timely to slam the sedition act agst him,during his twilight years. Let him study his Law Books again in jail!!!
