Blood is thicker than water
Ahli keluarga lebih dipentingkan daripada orang lain.
Masin lagilah garam sendiri
So you have been married to him for 20 years and you have remained loyal to him through thick and thin. But still he voted for his sister when you and she were vying for the post. It seems that blood is thicker than water, my dear friend.
Jadi awak telah hidup bersamanya selama 20 tahun dan susah senang, awak tetap setia padanya. Namaun dia tetap mengundi kakaknya apabila awak bersaing dengan kakak ipar awak itu untuk merebut jawatan tersebut. Nampaknya masin lagilah garam sendiri, wahai kawanku.
