Welcoming ZAM to herald M'sian Renaissance

Dear Mo,

As unintended results or consequences of the promotion of Zam as a full Minister for " Information", intellectual development in Malaysian civil society may paradoxically and dialectically be accelerated because many more Malaysians would strongly feel the need to turn to foreign (East, West, North and South) and alternative media or read more good books to keep themselves and their children in sync with new ideas or modern ideas in normal societies out there.

May be it is Pak Lah's very subtle or indirect strategy to use Zam to occasionally (and unconsciously or sub-consciously) insult our intelligence with hilarious or outrageous utterances so that we read more quality books and foreign media to rebut him. And, in the dialectical (Yin-Yang and/or Hegelian) process of challenges and responses (thesis-antithesis-synthesis), Malaysia may develope intellectually to eventually become a First World country like the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Britain and Australia.

Meanwhile, two key terms I suggest for your Googling times in the next few months are "propaganda" and "psychological warfare". Remember: a sense of humour for ironies, contradictions, follies and absurdities as well as the psychological ability to control anger and to resist being incensed by agents provocateur are vital to remain sane and cool.
