This Olympics in Paris may not have been our country’s best performance, but it might just be the one where Malaysians have really been so emotionally invested.
Does this mean that Malaysians are actually out of touch with reality? Or does it mean that reality bites more real in real life?
It’s funny when young people accuse the baby boomers and even Gen Xers of ruining the economy for them in Malaysia. I would like them to explain technically how the economy was wrongly handled.
Aside from policies and practices, the social environment journalists work in can affect and influence our press freedom standing as well.
The process of talking can take a long time. It takes some effort to explain things and, it takes even more effort to try to understand things that we don’t understand.
Despite the fact that Malaysia’s press freedom index has dropped, I still think there is hope. Don’t give excuses or defensive deflection. Just tell us what the government is going to do to improve.
When we are able to laugh at ourselves, we realise we are not perfect. It teaches us humility, open mindedness and the realisation that we can do better.
