Absolutely! Government accountability starts with FOI. Transparency - which leads to accountability is not possible without Freedom of Information.

Yes, we need freedom of information.
What about DAP Selangor, will there be freedom and transparency in the on going support letter saga? Or blue eyed boy attained eternity? Karmic forces will burn those culprits to death.

WORSHIP GOD WITH FREEDOM

When God in His wisdom gives us the full freedom
How can mere mortal functional man take it away
By restricting how one can worship in His kingdom
As though mankind can easily be forced to sway
