After 14 Years, I Write Again

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 18, 2025: It’s been ages since I last poured my thoughts into this blog. My final entry, “No Winner in This Madness,” was written on Saturday, July 9, 2011. And now, after so many silent years, I feel compelled to write again.

Today, Oct 18, 2025, I reopen this space with a heavy heart. The recent reports of rape, brutal violence, even murder in Malaysian schools have shaken me to the core.

These are places that should be sanctuaries for our children — where they are meant to learn, laugh, and grow under the protection of teachers and the guidance of education.

Instead, they have become headlines of horror, leaving parents anxious, communities outraged, and the nation questioning what has gone so terribly wrong.

As a Malaysian, and as someone who has always believed in the power of education to shape character, I cannot remain silent.

This is not just about statistics or isolated cases — this is about lives shattered, trust broken, and futures stolen. And it forces us to confront difficult questions: Have we failed our children? Where did our values slip away? And more importantly, how do we rebuild a safer, kinder environment for the generations to come?
