The proverbial fight for hearts and minds


THE last few months, I have been living the Malay proverb,Jauh perjalanan, luas pemandangan (the further you travel, the greater the knowledge you will earn), to understand the political sentiment in Malaysia.

I have gone out of my political bubble (li­beral, pro-Pakatan Harapan, Klang Valley) and travelled from Perlis to Johor to Kelantan to Sabah (my other political bubble).
