Breathing in merdeka

We've been often told that with Freedom comes responsibility.

Merdeka was celebrated just this past Aug 31. RM100 million worth of pyrotechnics, videos, dancers and shit to make you forget the govt abuse, mismanagement and our tattered Constitution. This Aug 31 didn't do much for me, 50 years or whatever.

You want more meaning, it can be found here - the Dataran Merdeka of cyberspace - where today sets the platform for tomorrow. Who knows, just perhaps, we the citizens are slowly waking up to our responsibility as co-pilots of the land. We will find ways to make this govt accountable yet.

i signed the petition, of course.

For simple reasons: i want to truly know merdeka. i want to taste its marrow.
