Happy Malaysia Day!

I know it's not quite 12am yet, but I'm so happy reading about the ISA abolition and law reforms that I just thought I'd send this out.

As a Malaysian and a lawyer, this means so, so much to me: it feels like the end of a dark era.
What comes next will hopefully be enlightenment, not immediate and universal but one which we must take steps to promote slowly but surely.

The abolishment of the ISA will not solve all our problems overnight, but it is a step in the right direction. Credit where it's due: thank you Najib.

Tomorrow I celebrate!

And this is belated, but appropriate too: Happy Merdeka, my fellow citizens!
