| Patriotism, anyone? |

While perusing a local daily, I was struck by an advertisement which lucidly captured the sacrifices of the founding fathers of this nation.
Lest you have missed it, I share these lines: “Here was Malaysia’s first Prime Minister. Father of Independence. Prince of man. Kings of hearts. Asking nothing for himself. And everything for the people.
“If he had enriched anybody, it was us – the people of Malaysia. To us he gave the most precious thing of all. Freedom.
“What a patriot. What a man. What a sacrifice. A sacrifice made together with those he unreservedly called his ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’ for the country. For us.”
