Malaysians are toughening up day by day. Not physically but psychologically.

Weathering the political climate as they sharpen their level of critical analysis, watching intense and high-profile dramas being staged and circumstances manipulated before them. Nobody is sure whether it will turn out as a boon or bane for the nation.

While millions of Malaysians are retreating into their private and daily hard lives, politicians across the divide are sinking into ‘realpolitik-ing', either taking on the role of aggressors or defenders of their political turf.
