MP Liew Chin Tong told the crowd that Pakatan needs to win at least a third of the total parliamentary seats in the state of Johor, Sabah and Sarawak to see a change in the federal government.

He urged Johoreans to catch up with the wind of change and to create history by voting at least a third of the Johor Pakatan candidates to parliament in the forthcoming 13GE.

Dr. Hew Kuan Yau aka Superman had the crowd in stitches when he came up with his ever popular satirical speech in targeting his political opponents namely, BN national leaders, who have committed major political follies.
