It's so annoying reading the news from back home. Discussing religion is a 'sensitive' issue. Bumiputra rights are a 'sacred' issue. Sex is 'sensitive'. Jeebers. Bollocks.

And I hate it when people say, "Oh, it goes against our Eastern values" or 'Asian values'. What the heck is that anyway? Just because we're Asian, doesn't mean we're governed by these so called values and just clam up regarding issues which are deemed 'sensitive'. C'mon, we're in an era where information is so easily available, wouldn't it be easier to just address these issues instead of hiding behind 'values'?

I think I should just stop reading the news back home. Gets me riled up.
