During the era of Tun Dr. Mahathir, the machinary of the government controlled media have alway propagate stability.
The stability that most of us would not treasure on the sole reason that we felt oppressed by the system then practise. We want freedom and we want democracy.
Under the leadership of our current Prime Minister, with all due respect, yes, freedom and democracy have larger space and boundaries, but cans of worms were openned up and the content of the pandora box starts to haunt us.
Freedom and democracy has a price-- the instability of the country. Do we want it? Will we be another Indonesia or Thailand or Philipines. I do not know.
What I do know is we chosen a path never taken before by Malaysian after the May 13 incident. Will it be for a better or worse future? We do not know. Will the instability be temporary or permanent? I do not know.
But there will always be risk in life, where are you now in the midst of nowhere -- oh my beloved Malaysia.
