Reconciliation, tukang cerita style

It’s all about moving around and listening to people, looking beyond factionalism and mere politics to underlying themes that shape the world we live in.

FIVE years ago, after the conclusion of the 12th general election and having witnessed the sudden expansion of the opposition Pakatan Rakyat, I realised that I knew almost no one from their ranks. Having grown up in an almost exclusively Umno and Barisan Nasional environment, the thought of meeting people from the “other” side had always seemed vaguely ludicrous and slightly crazy.
