KEEPING IN TOUCH

Though this forum (http://www.sabahforum.com/forum/index.php) is in mixed malay-english, it keeps me abreast with what's happening at home, Sabah, East Malaysia.

I like to read the http://www.sabahforum.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=14 partly because of it's gossip on political views of individuals. Amusing and entertainting, making the forum a place for everyone. We are lucky to be allowed to do so, unlike other countries.

Finally reconciled to the fact that politics is a human element which means with many handicaps, most political intitution make decision based on 'in the name of OUR people....!' to justify actions that mostly are beyond 'us' The People! Ironic isn't it?

Anyhow, am very lucky to be a citizen of peaceful Malaysia, where public forum is not a death sentence but a mean of expressing oneself.

I end with a question which one should ask self,'would you - a citizen, rather be shot to death just by murmuring dissent in public forums (the incidental soldier?) such as this?'. The answer is always up to you -the citizen (or not?).
