Point of View, who is in control matters

What's wrong with this video? Nothing and everything! It is a matter of who is in-charge of what, who has control and who is in power.

The fight for this video is really about changing the paradigm of power and control. This is what this video is all about.

The question is can we do it?

Interesting, if you have missed this earlier this morning....

Interview on BFM Radio

One year ago...we remember.

I do not know him. I have not personally met him.  Yet, I feel grief on this day - for it was one year ago that his life ended tragically. Circumstances surrounding Teoh Beng Hock's death is still a mystery.  As I read the news on the blogs and online media - I still find it hard to believe that such a thing happened.
