Acronyms

ABRSwhat? OK I’m guilty of putting cryptic abbreviations throughout my entries. Many of these terms are from PPM (ha another abbreviation! — Petronas Penapisan Melaka). I think I might as well set up this reference page in case you happen to come across another you don’t have a clue what it means.

By the way if you are looking for UMNO or PAS, look somewhere else la..!
