Don’t Get Sucked in the Vicious circle

It’s important to stay mindful and not get swept up in collective narratives. At times, public opinion can be shaped to place the burden of blame on a single individual—despite the reality that the current Prime Minister has served less than one full term.

Historically, similar dynamics have emerged. Tunku Abdul Rahman stepped down following public pressure sparked by a circulated Surat Layang. A comparable shift occurred during Abdullah Badawi’s tenure.

Already, some criticisms have surfaced during Anwar Ibrahim’s first hundred days in office. But realistically, addressing the challenges handed down from past administrations is a long-term endeavour—likely requiring at least two full terms.

Calls for his removal often stem from perceptions shaped by hearsay or incomplete narratives. What’s perhaps overlooked is the value of leadership committed to recovering the billions allegedly misappropriated from Malaysia’s national wealth.

On a lighter note, here’s a fascinating experiment from India that highlights the power of curiosity—a gentle reminder to question, reflect, and think independently.
