We have our first female Malay president
We should be celebrating
But we are not
Recent world events have highlighted that the lay people cannot be trusted.
Democracy will always be unfair to the minority for we have primeval urges to support our own kind. Rationality cannot overcome biology. The hard science of our bodies. At least... that is what our govt believes. And maybe it is right.
So where does that leave us?
We shouldn't underestimate the lay people's urge to feel included though. A delicate balance or it could go the way of autocratic regimes.
So we had a presidential (s) election to quote cherish george. I think he's naive to imagine the majority would have voted her in against a chinese.
