Saying the deaths of chickens not caused by bird flu, is NOT good enough! What causes the deaths? Did the chickens died of depression? Did their loved ones died, the cause? Chicken heart attacks? Inhaling second hand smoke? Domestic violence? Obese cases? WHAT?????
Or just "Visit Malaysia Year"? Silencing the answers?
Well, the chickens died because Chua Soi Lek was challenged by senior DAP leaders for a public debate on Chinese education.
The chickens died of heart attacks!!
Ha, ha, ha.....
