At long last the truth is out of the bag as admitted in that part of MM's eulogy in bidding farewell to the late Goh Keng Swee. So it was GKS who leads this Nation out of the clutch of of those ultra Malaysian and now we understand why he works so hard to ensure that we survive the separation. Little wonder why MM shed tears when we parted way with Malaysia for he has no courage nor confidence in us standing on our own two feet as he was even prepared to accept a looser re-arrangement just to keep us within Malaysia. Luckily that did not happen and now we know who to thank for our freedom to-day as an independent nation free from the yoke of bondage to the Malaysia.
