well... when I heard today that the old man has passed way... there is some sort of a strange relief in me. I, like many of my fellow countrymen, respect him and his contributions... but we also would never forget nor miss the latent mess he had left behind for us… So today the dawn of a new era has come, a time in which we are all working hard and anxiously waiting to catch the next wave of development called the post-China world. An important time indeed for our generation to pave the way for a better future of our people and beloved land. The Thais, the Malays, and the Viets are all already in front of us but not very far… can we make it this time?
