Now I ask you to make your sacrifice. Take a gamble. I took the plunge and I'm glad of it.

Over the years, our political system has degenerated to the extent that it's difficult for anyone to make any headway, yet keep his hands clean.

We have the hardest working people in the world, the most adaptable and the most congenial to employ.

We must promote solid traits such as work ethics, a dignified lifestyle, matching actions to rhetoric, performance rather than grandstanding.

The military is faithful to the constitution. They will come in only to protect the people from the enemies of the state.

In the harshest possible terms, I condemn political killings.

Now I ask you to make your sacrifice. Take a gamble. I took the plunge and I'm glad of it.
