Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men,
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

(English nursery rhyme)

COMMENT | You can tell a lot about a country by its pompous windbag academics, by its muted cabinet ministers, by its verbose leader, and by the fire-and-brimstone approach of its religious clerics. These people insult the intelligence of the rakyat.

We are worn out from decades of misrule, weary of the broken promises of our leaders, and wary of politicians who think only of themselves, whose sycophants are a waste of space.

Today, we are a nation that appears to be “sesat jalan” (lost our way) or “hilang arah” (lost direction).
