COMMENT | Is democratisation of media still a thing?
COMMENT | Democracy is defined as a system of government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.
It sounds wonderful where people make their own decisions and govern themselves. It is a flat system where nobody has absolute power to tell you what to do.
Technically, we live in a democracy here in Malaysia. There are regular general and state elections where the people go out and vote for the political party and candidate that they want to administer the federal or state government.
They make choices depending on what these parties and candidates have to offer. If it is to their liking, they vote. If it is a mistake, they can vote again in the next election for a change.
Yes, I know. I can sense the rolling of the eyes of everyone out there reading this now...
