The reason I started this blog in the first place was as a form of therapy. I had gone through an emotional trauma and depression at work and it has hit me hard. It is much easier to write about my feelings than talk about them. In any case, the recent political tsunami has given me the much needed motivation. It felt liberating knowing that one of the biggest factor which helped fuelled the current change in our political landscape had been the use of internet as a medium for alternative sources of information.
I am not sure whether someone will read my blog. I am not sure whether someone may even appreciate it. Some may blow it off as just steam from a frustrated employee. ut how will that be converted into real change? How will I contribute to this change, in reality? I am still not sure. My quest for an answer continues ..............................
The following extract from another blogger has given me much hope to continue on though.
“The 12th General Elections was the defining moment in the history of our nation. It was a day when the opposition parties, by a rare show of unity among them, succeeded in denying the BN a 2/3 majority in parliament. It brought mixed feelings among the people and the various political parties. To the ruling BN it was a bitter victory that could not be celebrated but to the opposition a sweet success that was considered impossible just weeks before.
Nevertheless in general it was a victory for democracy and Malaysians as a whole. Most significantly it was a victory for racial unity that is very much needed these days. In fact Malaysians in general were surprised but encouraged by the unprecedented unity among the supporters of the various parties.”
Because of this GE (general election) factor, you will note that I will be bootlegging and plagiarizing a lot of ideas and concepts from the ‘alternative media’ to share and voice my opinion on issues at work.
