No is Not Enough
My blogging friends, I want to end 2017 with this Naomi Klein interview. Here she talks about her latest book, No is Not Enough. Her focus is on the character and personality and branding of the 45th President of the United States, HE Donald J. Trump. But her insights are also apply to leaders in countries like Malaysia (Najib Razak), South Africa (Jacob Zuma), Zimbabwe (Robert Mugage) and other corrupt and abusers of power.
It is not enough for us to say No; we must also make act to make regime change a reality. Zimbabweans and South Africans have acted. Now Malaysians must show the rest of the world that they can do the same. –Din Merican
Malaysia has shown ” no is not enough” through Bersih 4 , but the trusts and confidence of the 2-400,000 participants were brutally betrayed or hijacked. I just couldn’t think of any movement or moment that can match its (Bersih 4) spirit and aspirations, all spontaneously expressed for a common agenda for a better Malaysia . Religion and race were never a feature in question. This was exceptionally exemplery.
I have lost hope, because such opportunity and environment would never can present itself again under the current political situation. It is never the same again.
Malaysians could have had enough or fed -up.
It would be a long while.I am not optimistic.
