This is how they do it in Sarawak. This is a liftout page. First page is the BN team. Look how beautiful those politicians look in their colour photos? You may not be able to see it but it lists all their academic credentials. Oh, the big one is the 'bai mau' (white cat), CM.
The next page is half a page for the opposition front – Barisan Bersatu Sarawak and Parti Keadilan Rakyat. The papers say it is the 'Shadow Cabinet' even though there isn't one. Note the quality of photos. No colour, grainy and purposely distorted. Instead of their academic achievements, they list things like "former driver at the Ministry of Welfare", "Loser in the XXXX elections". For Chinese candidates like Dominique Ng, the fake Shadow Cabinet allocates him a political assistant position. They don't even say he's a lawyer.
Welcome to Sarawak BN politics.
“bai mou” means “white hair” not “white cat”

You mean, you’re calling him a pussy? Fair enough then.
