His eye on Malaysia

It was a far, far cry from that other Eye; those collection of empty gondolas of a certain ferris wheel at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa. This one was piercing, it had depth and history, it had pride, and above all, compassion.

Yesterday morning Sultan Azlan Shah shared, via the on-going Malaysian Law Conference, his Eye on Malaysia. In some ways, you may say it was his State of the Union address. Or malunion, depending.

And if in today's world, content - more than clothes - makes a man, you can say the silver-haired Sultan of Perak and former Lord President no less is a fine man indeed.

But don't take my word for it (I'm a blogger; I write rubbish, no Nazri?). Read for yourself. Read slowly and savour the intelligence. Square that with a certain de facto Law Minister who touched on just about the same topic a day earlier in the New Sunday Times.
