I am surprise we are even having this discussion. All he needs is a 2000 something Toyota Carolla that he can share with at least one other official. With the curreny global economic condition he can not even afford a driver, extreme?. Maybe.

You are all such bad people! Speaking ill of our esteemed PM! What gives? The man feels justified/ deserving in making a ‘case’ for his soon-to-be-seen new car…As far as I am concerned, this is ‘life in the Tropics!’ Sadly!Cudd
