The DAA (Discharge Amounting to Acquittal), rightfully or otherwise of Musa Aman was the 1st piece of domino that affected a couple of major events. First was the Covid spike from the Sabah PRK. Now the the chain of events that ultimately united us against a vindictive judgement
I had to qualify the DAA because there were reasons given for it eg.

1. Insufficient evidence
2. Death of key witness
3. The falling thru of MLA with HK authority largely due to unavailabilty of records >7yrs
5. Prior investigations in 2011 revealed that it was 'political funds'
However, i think the AGC could have have handled this better by managing perception with better communications on the above, and that the Judiciary shouldnt have acted so high handedly thus appearing to be unjustly vindictive
Anyway it all ended well in entrenching the freedom of press & will of the ppl. Contempt for PN govt has grown even bigger as a result of it

One may say I'm wrong to say that because of the doctrine of separation of powers etc. But who are we kidding?

Justice in the Wilderness

Some have asked for my review of the book. Follow the thread only if you are interested

I dont want to bore anyone unnecessarily 😊
As in many memoirs its content can be categorised into 2. Statement of facts & opinions. Where facts are concerned, I believe his recounts are true & fair with no malice or bias intended. Opinions are, well just that & it can be interpreted in many ways
I thought of writing a long one but on 2nd thoughts ill keep it as concise as i can

Truth can be uncomfortable but we need to hear it in order to move forward

And i believe TT has been very frank in his book & to truly appreciate it, one has to put aside sensitivities & listen

Have you heard of smiling depression?

According to healthline.com:
It "is a term for someone living with depression on the inside while appearing perfectly happy or content on the outside

It could be someone close to u

(Pic source: White Tiger. Illustration purposes) Image
"To someone looking from the outside, a person with smiling depression might look like:

an active, high-functioning individual

someone holding down a steady job, with a healthy family and social life

a person appearing to be cheerful, optimistic, and generally happy
"If you're experiencing depression yet continue to smile & put on a façade, u may feel:

like showing signs of depression would be a sign of weakness

like u would burden anyone by expressing your true feelings

that u don’t have depression at all, because you’re “fine”
