“A complete set of cushion chairs would also be given to each and every couple, which includes three-seater chairs and other side chairs. Window blinds and plastic carpets will also be provided.

“New clothing materials, popularly called ‘Shadda’ would be provided for all the would-be husbands, so that they can appear as happily wedded grooms, showcasing their happiness to families, friends and well wishers.”
Anwar said it was the hope of the government that what is provided for the couples would go a long way in serving as relief for them after the marriage.

Gandollar is working

Are You for real?

Like seriously?

When saner climes are talking about family planning and making sure couples have something to sustain a family before marriage, you are here hailing this stupidity.

Imagine a scenario where the grooms don't have bride price to pay, is it food they'd have for the wife and children?

Is it money to train their kids in school that he would have?

I thought Gandollar has a "Dr" attached to his name, is this what he got from all his studies?

To enable the breeding of more Almajiris?

The real problem here is that you have failed to spot the sarcasm and that should be a major worry.

I hope this is not true. This is a waste of my tax!

And i hope the governor will buy them baby clothes and food too. Iraanu!
