Dear president. If you don’t have anything better to do keep attending funerals and weddings.
His body language says it all.
On the night of 08 Jan 2015, it is known that he and his family hid among rubber trees in an estate fearing vengeance if he lost the elections.
Now, he is seen sitting next to the R clan leader with shrunken shoulders and hands clasped in a strategic place saying ‘Sorry, I cut your throat only once otherwise I am your friend’.
Just compare the man sitting next to him in the photo. The body language of that man says ‘ I may have lost to you but I remain the King, you idiot’!.
