Have not been updating my blog lately, office work ma..., and the last 2 weeks have been especially long-hours and body draining. Keep looking though....
Just like to welcome our exPM, Dr Mahathir Mohamad to the world of blogs - guess he is also finding at last that our MSM (my friend hates this acronym as it coincides with his initials), despite his insistance when he was in power then, is not free afterall (well, The Sun is distributed free of charge but that's not what I meant - much like what the SPR claimed that our election is 'tranparent' since we are now using 'transparent' boxes....).
I would say, BRAVO Dr M, his views and thoughts especially on strategic issues are definitely always welcomed - especially if one can separate it from his 'machiavellian politics thinking' that forms the other perspective of this exPM of Malaysia. Of course it remains to be seen if he (or his team) will keep track of the many comments posted on his blog (last count 892 comments on 1 posting done May 1st) - being a super busy man and so on, but then again he is a master at speed reading.
I like most (for now) his writing style - 'bulleted, straight to the point', and the preface is 'classy' - "This site is dedicated to publishing my writings as and when I am able to pen my thoughts and opinion". His blog can be reached at http://www.chedet.com/.
On the other side of the coin, we already have Anwar Ibrahim's blog which can be accessed via http://anwaribrahimblog.com/ .
Guess it is also not too late to also welcome Dr Khir Toyo - very brave of him: it's either a case of him being 'awakened' by the real needs of the rakyat, or him as in the slick 'opportunist'. However, I can't expressed my dissappointment with Ali Rustam. What's the point of having a blog and then turning off the commentaries - you might as well have a column in Utusan Malaysia - still have not learned the importance of listening to the real 'stakeholders'.
Well, welcome to all the new bloggers (despite I'm being a newbie too) but please, please, please remember this: GOD MADE US 2 EARS, AND 1 MOUTH, so it pays to listen more, and speaks (or write) less.......
Salam.
