Kee is a 58 year old Baby Boomer and renowned writer of a
best seller. Shen (better known as SYA) a Gen Y and only 26 years of age but is
actively writing via his blog and the social media. Kee is proficient in
English, SYA in Bahasa Malaysia. But both of them share one common vision – a
better Malaysia.
While they may share a common Vision, they differ in terms
of politics. SYA is obviously MCA and Kee is perceptibly a DAPster (borrowing
Helen Ang’s categorization). Kee recently wrote an open letter to Chua Soi Lek
(click http://www.malaysia-today.net/mtcolumns/guest-columnists/37380-open-letter-to-chua-soi-lek
) and SYA responded with an article (click http://1sya.com/?p=1720
). Some say that SYA’s counter arguments made Kee’s points not only shaky, but
on the verge of being ‘bullshit’ ie the title of the latter’s best seller, ‘No
More Bullshit’. Kee should be given a chance to clear himself.
SYA has challenge Kee for a debate. Personally, I am not
into debates among politicians and those who talk politics - unless it is in
the parliament. To me debates are good for the academia and academicians. But
Kee should at least write back and defend his article. At the least it would be
nice to see rationale and mature discussion between someone from the ‘old
school’ and another representing ‘the new and the young’.
The ‘old’ and
the ‘young’ should see themselves as ‘equals’ and face-off each other as fellow
Malaysians for the betterment of the nation.
