Slowness

This here was what i thought we'd begin to evolve in little pockets under the Badawi admin. No need for superheroics - that was supposed to be a narrative of an era past. A maha-era.

IDR without the narcissism of the Nusajaya Administrative Center, the NCER without the ostentatious Penang Global City Centre; no need for spaceflights and the massive but leaking Duta courthouse, no need, no need.

To live an let live the Sg Buloh Leprosarium, not pummel it to bits. To be able to continue cycling along the lovely tree-shaded streets of Kuala Kubu Baru or Taiping. To cherish an evening walk along the Klebang coast in Melaka and still see the sea.

Slowness is a fine virtue indeed.
