Ipoh, Perak Darul Ridzuan, Malaysia

At the heart of Kinta Valley. The capital city of the state of Perak. An opposition stronghold. Factory of brilliant people. Desolated through emigration of its inhabitants to other parts of the country and overseas. Yet... it is forever remembered by its people.

The big commotion again! My say is, Malaysia politicians, especially those in UMNO, should be acknowledged for their dexterity and craft in making small matters into big hoo-has! Because their leaders are being slightly criticised! Somehow, I did manage to read the whole survey done by Lockwood from a copy of The Economist, 5th April issue, not only the online version of "Changing the guard". I have to admit that he had conducted a comprehensive, extensive, and in-depth survey. And what he was perceiving and assuming is nevertheless true and not pointless and baseless. Perhaps, he should be more conscientious in making a statement like "...and the best he (Dr M) can render to the country is to retire, full stop." Assuredly, Mr Lockwood missed out something here. He should have had known that Malaysia politicians are vulnerable and easily disheartened by such a short phrase, which is negative and invalidating their leaders. Notwithstanding, Mr.Lockwood has opened my eyes and I am sure many others too. “Terdapat orang bodoh yang masih lagi membaca The Economist, tetapi saya percaya rakyat Malaysia lebih cerdik. Mereka dapat membezakan apabila majalah itu berbohong dengan perkara benar yang dilaporkan." The "bodohs" will definitely be able to differentiate the "bohong" and the "perkara benar". :)
