cakap cakap

I have had friends tell me that people are questioning what I write these days. I have been back in KL these few months and the inference is that maybe, just maybe, I am playing to the gallery because if I do not, I will again be a person of interest to the authorities. Let me just say this for now...I am still a person of interest to the authorities.

Then there are those who think that whether I am in KL or Melbourne, steadyaku47 the blogger still writes with conviction and without fear or favor.....and I smile when I read that. The steadyaku in Melbourne is not the same steadyaku who is in KL. They are not like chalk and cheese, but there is more common sense used by steadyaku in KL than in Melbourne...if you know what I mean....but they still tell me...that I am "brave".

Say what you want of me, but this much I know of myself....I write as I please. Do not try to second-guess me.

I was asked the other day... Tuesday last to be exact...why I no longer write or comment about the Royals in Malaysia. Can anyone tell me if there is anything to write about the Royals these days? Think about it....this Unity Government...this Madani Governmnet...to all intents and purposes came into being because our Yang di-Pertuan Agong had the foresight and the courage to ask DSAI to form the government. And since then, the Royals have given their blessing and unwavering support to ensure that this Unity Government will serve its full term. When they are doing the right thing, let the Royals, in their collective wisdom, continue with their work. Daulat Tuanku.

What of Anwar Ibrahim?

We are all watching our PMX at work. He has not even done his first year as PM and no one can deny that he is different from the PMs that have come before him. Maybe different is too vague a word....DSAI is better. Malaysians are impatient for change. Malaysians are critical of any leader whose cakap tak serupa bikin. Malaysian no longer mudah lupa. Malaysians demand a leader that Anwar says he will be.....a leader for all Malaysians. So even if Anwar is doing better than most PMs that have come before him, we want him to do better!

I will continue to write as I see it - but more responsibly with a view of being positive and constructive...membina...rather than just hantam anything without thinking of the consequences of what I write...especially the consequences to me. I want to be in KL...and to be in KL you need to be inclusive. Or, at least, try to be.

Please....give me space to write as I want, to think as I do, and not try to second guess my intentions. Life is too brief...be good, do good, and be nice to people.

Enough said.
