The Malaysians turned out to be quite the progressive lot after all!

If democracy was to provide based on real perception from the ground up, then it's fairly safe to say that Malaysia is on the road to greater social equality - should this progressive momentum continue.

People cannot live on such narrow definitions truly happily, truly satisfied. They will be compelled to act upon such stagnation in their lives - and be driven when they find their happiness and satisfaction given, when creating their own new world. When making problems right. And when providing justice.
The marching people of Burma and Malaysia have acted bravely. I salute them. May the trend spread on!
