    Isn’t she the Amazon? She certainly came across as one on TV. Wouldn’t want to mess with her. Now it’s all silent on the eastern front.

    The sympathy vote for the wife. If it has worked before, chances are, it will work again.

    I don’t know if this counts for anything but she’s a new MP and not many East Malaysians know about The Nut Graph. I keep having to explain it to people here.

    [Editor’s note: YB Datin Linda Tsen was contacted personally by The Nut Graph and given the usual 2 weeks to reply.]
