Or "OT" One of the biggest consumer goods company in Indonesia with an old Chinese man as the logo When abbreviated, people see this company like P&G and Unilever But when isn't abbreviated, their name have a strong association to their red wine product, or amer (an acronym for anggur merah)(pronounced "amer" as in "America", amèr, amaer, A-maire, or a-mer) This possibly causes their logo and how they called are different when placed on their non-alcoholic products.

They're starting another Alexandria Library burning but this time, they burn their own wisdom or knowledge Some are not grateful and keep hoarding money by using greedy practices or corruption, even they're already rich, for some reason ----- Whoever who was bullied but then supports bullying is the type of person who suicide in a quote. Why would you support bullying if you have bullied? You're killing yourself ----- Someone cares you and accepts you openly crying, but you suicide in a quote by saying "crying is not manly," in favour of "masculinity." How stupid are you?
