The lost middle ground


THE trouble with most politicians is that once they are given a microphone, they do not know how to stop talking. In fact, if most of them were to listen more to the people, they wouldn't be in the mess they are in today.

I guess that includes wannabe politicians too. By now, we should be familiar with K.S. Bawani and Sharifah Zohra Jabeen, who have both suddenly become household names after a video clip showing the former being berated by the latter at a forum went viral.
