Se eu tivesse escolha




«Freedom of speech has its limitations but on Malaysian social media, the sky is the limit. I wish this government, or the next, will be able to handle the problem. 
 
Its toxicity undermines the foundations of the nation and the fabric of society.
Most of the negotiations on who should be the next Prime Minister of Malaysia are done in the open. I find it odd. Negotiations should be held within the four walls of the party headquarters or in any room with doors closed, not being broadcast to all and sundry. A new normal, I suppose.

In a way this open discussion is good in the sense that the members of the general public can participate in the deliberations of political matters. They can provide input (criticisms, suggestions, for and against, neutral viewpoints). But the freedom can be abused and therefore counter-productive, even destructive, if your enemy knows how to exploit your weakness.
Anyway, it’s the new normal, I suppose.»
