Is Malaysia a Democratic Country?

I love living in this country.

Why?

1 - I grew up here.
2 - My family & friends are here. And these matter, because they are part of my life.
3 - I am comfortable here?

Many people had asked me before.., do I prefer Singapore or Malaysia?

I used to live & work in Singapore for few years, hence the reason of comparison.

I always tell people that I prefer Malaysia. Malaysian practices a more balanced life. Malaysia is full of colors.

Am I right or am I wrong?

Recently, with the hoo-haa on the upcoming rally etc... , I looked at the way our government handled the situation..., it seemed like we are not in a democratic country.

Why do I say that... Honestly, what's so wrong with listening to the people? What's so wrong in wanting a transparent and better practice?

Don't our PM have a better PR people to help him handle this? I think their PR with the people is in such a mess now....

With all these going on.., I really wonder if our country is really a democratic one that we claimed to?

The older generation are actually worried about this upcoming rally.... they worried it will be another May 13th....

My mum and J's mum asked us to stock up on food...... Seriously, do we need to?
