The Eastern Standard Times

"The Truth Shall Set You Free." And don't ask me who said this, I really do not know who but this is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It hurts at times, it marginalises, it will subject you to ridicule, you may suffer all the same, it will do all sorts of things but it will set you free, and allow you move forward with your life with nothing to hide and, that is the truth. In our very own backyard we have seen this happen, ministers who deny any wrong doing, who tell half truths and get hounded by the media, the blogs, papers, the talk on the street etc. whilst they go full throttle on denial mode. We have seen an ex-menteri besar against whom a state select committee has uncovered so many incidents of wrong doing, who brazenly sits in the background without even having the courage to come out and clear all those accusations against him and his wife, and yet has the audacity to tell the government of the day how to carry on their work
