COMMENT Charlie Chaplin once said: "Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up but a comedy in long-shot."            

This is similar to bloopers that depict hilarious incidents accompanied by rib-tickling narratives and musical scores.

For the audience and narrator - it is the long-shot. But to the individuals involved in these misadventures - it is the close-up.

It seems that Nazir Razak has been viewing his brother's political conundrum from a distant vantage point and this has apparently motivated him to post an image of Michael Jackson with the title of his hit number 'You Are Not Alone' on Instagram.

Those close-up wondered if there was a subtle political message but Nazir dismissed it as nothing more than a "lighthearted" move.

Perhaps we spent too much time over the past few weeks watching the tussles and imbroglios troubling both coalitions - BN and Pakatan Rakyat - from up close?
