Time to count our blessings


Despite the many problems besetting the many-hued society that is Malaysia, the country has by and large been a success story. Still, the imperatives of the Constitution have not yet become the aspirations of the people.

AS we cross the 53rd milestone of our independence, it is befitting to reflect on the state of constitutionalism in the country. Most will agree that though the cup is not full to the brim, it is not empty. There is enough in it to relish and cherish.
