Dear Nic,
You cried when you heard daddy was going to the city for a rally even though you did not understand what it was all about. You wanted to join me but it is no place for a child to be. Many years from now when you are old enough you will understand. You have a strong will and whatever you political inclination may be I will respect it. I only hope that you HAVE one.
Some folks say politics is not their problem but it is a fact that almost everything that happens around is a result of politics. Like why the hell we pay more than some of our neighboring countries for automobiles! Protectionism, lop-sided agreements of public works projects and on and on.
Anyway back to the rally. I believe over the years more Malaysians are emboldened by the determination, courage and sacrifices shown by some of the leaders of NGOs. All the big guns out today will be harassed and targeted for arrest. I merely have the simple task of uprooting my butt from this chair and joining the rally.
Let's MARCH!
