maketh Desi wonder -- after reading about matey Howsy's complaint about Internet charges in KL/PJ being exorbitant and byte-ing -- if he should turn commercial and start charging 1million (Rp-lah, not RM!) per Community Service Message rendered. AP up&comingNgoing places Tony Pua may be privileged to receive first and top billing:)
From Tony Pua via Email:
-----
FIFTY years ago, we were promised democracy. We were promised justice. We
were promised equality. We were promised to be treated with human
dignity. We were promised freedom.
In 1963, we became Malaysians and the notion of a Bangsa Malaysia was born.
This was given form and substance by former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir
Mohamad in his Vision 2020 that set out 9 challenges for Malaysians to achieve a
developed country.
No mention is made of Bangsa Malaysia by the Abdullah administraton.
Is the concept of Bangsa Malaysia still important or relevant in the
light of failed promises in our original social contract?
