What happenned..really?

“Malaysia, a country known for its censorious government, which controls the mainstream media, bars students from political protest, and jails dissidents without trial.” (The Time, 2008)



I quote this from the time magazine. As we all know that the time is a very established international magazine that continuously affects the world by their opinion. When I read that quote, somehow as a Malaysian I felt embarrass, ashamed, and intimidated. Well, what happened to our government really.. I bet Malaysia is the only democratic country in this world that still performing this kind of acts. I always questioned myself, what is democratic? Should I make assumption on current world situation, or should I just trust on whatever happens in Malaysia. When the world starts to questioned Malaysian democratic policy or performance, what did we do to enlighten it to the world?
