This time, Azman covers the legendary Malaysian group, Alleycats. The singer-songwriter turned Alleycats’ hit single ‘Jika Kau Bercinta Lagi’ into a parody:
Azman seems to poke fun at ministers who commented on the issue of the rising price of eggs, asking Malaysians to consume ‘fewer eggs’ instead.
This is Why We Fight..

The Malaysian government announced the price of chicken and eggs would be freely floated, but was cancelled just 3 days after.
The price of a standard whole chicken rose 5.4% while eggs increased from 4.6% to 5.1% depending on grades.
