I refer to your 'exclusive' news item April Fool's report causes a stir, some rattled . Your April Fool's prank certainly fooled me initially. For seconds, I felt good.

Many voters like me tend to be silent nowadays on the many 'funny' government decisions made on our behalf. No wonder voters like me are taking comedians seriously and politicians as a 'joke'.

We might wonder why common sense is so getting so scarce among political leaders. Your April Fool's day report reminded me that the government is like an unfaithful lover who has betrayed us.

Come the next general election, we must certainly remind ourselves that words and promises are the most powerful tools used by politicians. But they are only tools. To them, there are no facts, only interpretations. All elected governments are the combined result of the people's wisdom and majority's folly.

Thank you to malaysiakini for that April Fool's Day 'news'!
