This is the final post on the topic, just to round things off and close the matter.
The comments i've received from everyone range from insightful to unreasonable (based on my personal judgement) -- the fact that there is such a diverse range of opinions does indicate one truth: we Malaysians do not have access to verifiable, unbiased information on the topic.
When no one knows the truth, everyone begins to believe that they know the "truth". That's not a good situation, and leaves too much to chance, more than any of us should find acceptable.
