I studied abroad for four years during my undergraduate education, and then returned to Malaysia where I have lived for the last two years. In that time I have been frustrated and awed in equal measure by Malaysians. I am most frustrated when faced with the apathy of many young people in my generation. Yet, there have also been occasions when I have been bowled over by the kindness and generosity Malaysians are capable of.

It is all out in the open now, and the foreign media who had exposed it are not amateurs, they know what they are getting into and they would have investigated thoroughly before breaking the news to the world. Now, what does it show on the country that is under scrutiny, our beloved land Malaysia? It is one country with two systems or standards. One for the common man and the other for the privileged and powerful classes of society.

Each time an incident happens, what else is more convenient than to blame the social media? What else could provide a more convenient excuse to restrict and control the use of social media? But I think social media is here to stay. The authorities shouldn't be wasting time trying to control it. Instead, they should try to educate and make the people, politicians, political parties and NGOs more responsible when posting and communicating on the Net.
