If the government and Barisan Nasional can only attract apologists with shallow intellects like My Voice ('Of idiots and pretenders, May 3) and True Malaysian ('Stop fussing over a traitor!' May 3), no wonder our leadership is mediocre and our nation is going to the dogs.

But malaysiakini does right by allowing them to express themselves - bovine crap notwithstanding.

It's more than we can say for the mainstream media which allows only propaganda.

I only hope that My Voice and True Malaysian will wake up one day to find that we are indeed a banana republic.
