    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.

    From : Die hard DAP supporter but not a member.

    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
