Are We Truly Free?
June 12, 2010As I write this, I am seeing a female news anchor clad in a beautiful cream patadyong. The television bombards me with images of Independence Day celebrations throughout the country - politicians giving speeches at historical monuments, elaborate floats that depict the outgoing administration’s achievements for the last nine years, programs, dancers dressed in colorful native costumes, parades, protestors on the streets - all of which aren’t necessary to celebrate this country’s 112th Independence Day. In my opinion, money and energy spent on these useless activities could’ve been put to good use that will benefit the general public.
