It’s all a matter of trust in politics

I FEEL sad whenever people come up to me at the talks I give or at public gatherings – or even while I’m enjoying my teh at the mamak shop – to complain about how they’ve lost trust with the government or the PM or a particular politician. And the only available alternatives are unthinkable to them.

I usually tell them that I generally trust the PM and the government of the day, and then I also tell them they need to relook at what trust actually means in their lives.
