Too Little, Too Late – Part 2: The Grace Of Courage
By 4pm yesterday, the numbers were tallied and the die was cast. Whatever happens in the next few days, as Malaysians we will need to move on, with courage. In my last post, in Part 1, I talked about acceptance. Well, my darlings, all of you now know how that turned out. On 16th August, […]
He Who Pays The Piper Calls The Tune
And usually, for most countries, this would be true. The people elect the most promising candidates available, expecting that those elected can be trusted to serve their constituencies.
