And The WInd Continues to blow....

This week started slowly but with the bad news that RPK detained for 2 years. Hmmm, all these is just bringing us back a few more steps in our journey towards CHANGE.

I am sure there will be lots more Candle Light vigils - for RPK's and the other detainees' release. Better still, get rid of ISA; it is no longer relevant in its present form!

Over here in Macao, the Typhoon Season continues....yesterday, yet another category 8 warning....causing offices to close early and this morning, offices resumed around 11am.

Last night the storm was strong...so many sign boards were torn down; this morning debris were all over the place. All last night, fire-trucks siren were all over the place, blaring away....

That scenario last night is perhaps what it is like politically in Malaysia. Warning signals all over, and the occassional scare with falling sign boards and lamp posts and uprooted trees.....and what it leaves behind will be debris all over.

The good thing is, it will all blow-over: after some cleaning up, everything is back in order. Better still, having gone through the experience, the next time round, we will tighten the screws on the notice boards a little bit harder, maybe change the location of the lamp-posts and grow stronger deeper rooted plants...

There will always be a silver lining behind the dark clouds.....

My prayers continue to be with RPK and his family, Manoharan and his family and all the rest in detention...

Amen!
