Compromise

Up to this point, the people's attention are slowly driven away from the drama. People are coming back to focussing into their own livelihood and survival. Some are already making their plans for the expected rougher ride lay ahead. Afterall, it is the topmost priority of the common people to ensure their families are continuously fed and taken care of. Other 'macro', ministerial level agenda have now been chucked aside. Life must go on. Some may have by now felt ashamed of themselves for meddling with issues that only a minister would worry about. We are the rakyat, we have our obligations to fullfill. At the same time we wanted to ensure the right things were done. And as far as moving and thrusting forward, marching with slogans of some sort, I think many of us can only go a certain distance. We are not willing and certainly not dare to risk the livelihood of our families.

Thank God for such sense. It is an awareness that kept many of us at home, performing our day to day routine and tightening our belts.
Thank God, many of us stayed home more to spend time with our families. Husbands will take more responsibilities and wives are sacrificing more.
Thank God, as the more the situation gets uncertain, the more we would submit ourselves to Him. Afterall we are just human.

And it is for that I think a compromise will be reached. It is the prayers of many more Malaysian. We do not want to see riots or unrest. Too much at stake. You guys sort things out, and work together. Afterall, everyone of you seemed by now to be hanging by the threads. We heard of talks taking place, and the real message had been delivered long ago in March. It would be enough to come up with a formula, to fit all in.
