Poetic political paragraph
I’ve just read one of the most poetic and lyrical political paragraphs on Malaysia ever:
… I … realized that it was not 1998 when the hour of midnight struck. Really, the hour of midnight had struck the moment my country was born. We’ve been stuck in midnight all these years. 1969, 1987, 1998 - these were just moments in history when the sky opened up wide enough for us to see that we were consumed by darkness. But the darkness has always been there. We’ve just been too afraid to bring ourselves to see it.
- Imran Rashid in an article which appeared in MuslimWakeUp.com
