Cakap cakap...under 30's.

I am 63. Over half a century. Over three scores. Over the hill? No lah! I can still write. I can still write about a few things that people out there will still want to read. In the process of reading what I write some of you have use verbs to describe what you would want to do to me:

·      Choke

·      Deliver(as in a punch!)

·      kick

Some of you have deemed it fit to address me as Pak or Uncle. These I accept with a smile because they denote more ‘old age’ then respect….but no complains. I read every emails and comment sent and there have been some good ones and they keep me going. Nowdays I never sleep before 2 am and am normally awake by 7am because I enjoy what I do.

But I do not seem to be able to talk to the young people. Those who are in their teens and early twenties – and these are the people that will make a difference to what we are trying to do. The young are able to adapt to the need for change more willingly then for most of us on the other side of forty. Those in between will have to make up their own mind and their awareness of what is happening around them is more acute then most of us. So I think they will seek out what they want to know without much prompting from anybody.

What I would like to try and do is to start a dialogue or ‘talk’ to you who are in your teens and in your twenties. It is an exercise to understand how you guys think, what you think about and how we can work together in achieving change in our country. It was the young who made America rethink their commitment in Vietnam and I think it will be the young in Malaysia that will make a significant difference to what we hope to achieve in our country. I do not know where this will lead but could we start to ‘talk’ through steadyaku47? If you are already with us please let me know and we see where we go from here. Regards.
