HUNDREDS of bicycles provided to participants of the recent 1Malaysia Patriotic Cycle went missing after the entrants rode them home at the end of the event, leaving the organisers embarrassed.

Will be interrogated by the simplest of our people...
Those who had no place in the books and poems...
They will be asked nothing about their absurd justifications
Born in the shadow of the total lie...
