COMMENT When writing about Malaysia, one has to be so careful not to hurt anyone's sensitivity that it often leads to submitting a blank page.

Malaysians are a very sensitive bunch. You cannot write about anything, not even the idea of not writing, without offending someone, somewhere or anywhere.

Unfortunately, despite best efforts by Dr Mahathir Mohamad to put the genie back in the bottle, social media is not going away. Just like one airline, now everybody's coffee-shop talk can take to the air.
