From Kamunting to Whitley Road
Shrink to patient: “Now, I will say a few words and I would like you to tell me immediately what came to your mind.”
That line should sound familiar. It is one of those famous tests that Psychologists use (well at least its one of the more popular ones on TV). Now, I would like to do a bit of that exercise too. Tell me what came to your minds when I say these:
Corruption, Cronies, Suppressed freedom of speech, banning of illegal gathering, government-controlled media and press, corrupted judiciary and electoral commission, ISA?!?!
I think I know you guys would be thinking…”Damn! Another political-cum-history crap again?! This bugger just never stops! Anyway, ‘give face a bit’, play along….erm……1st impression arr?? Hhmmm..are u talking about Barisan Nasional and Malaysia?”
Well that would be the most natural answer, but there are more than one answer to that. People often forget but it’s just right under our noses (like literally ‘under our noses’!) yeah..what else if not: PAP and Singapore. More info can be found in this linked video. As usual discussions are most welcomed, and yea…It’s my effort in trying to push that ‘picture’ down…
PS…Attention! Please try not to watch it if you are in that island republic, as it’s banned from the country and the producers had to cross the Tebrau Straits just to screen it to the audience.
