| The equity problem will just not vanish |

Deepavali and Hari Raya celebrations have brought some reprieve from recent tensions on the equity distribution. But, as the relentless wrath of Dr Mahathir Mohamad towards Abdullah Ahmad Badawi shows, some things just don't depart. The equity problem too will not vanish, even if we quash it or spook it away.
It is good that the dialogue has been going for quite a while. History will record few phases in which 'methodology' was used in engrossed and animated tones. But we are falling into the familiar habit of 'moving on' before resolving where we were.
