That is the trouble with Malaysian politicians in general - very very few (with the exeption of TDM - like him or not) have given us their vision of what they want to achieve for the country. The level of debate in Parliament let alone political parties is pathetic.<BR/><BR/>I agree that our only hope is that the next generation of politicians openly debate issues that Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604477176521753208.post-64842511849446984282008-11-27T10:01:00.000+08:002008-11-27T10:01:00.000+08:00From a cultural perspective, it has never been the...From a cultural perspective, it has never been the norm for Malaysians to openly debate and allow criticisms of those in power.
