Democracy is the one man's vote for freedom. It has survived and it has indeed evolved into some unruly versions over the last two decades or so. In Malaysia, it is alive and well, colourful and tainted with an Islamic touch.
Democracy comes in many facets, abused and dictated by groups and organizations, camouflaged by ideas and cloaked in disguise. It is winning the world and has survived. Regardless of how extreme it may be, nations like Israel and Iran are practicing democracy in their own ways and rights.
Britain has a throne in the monarchy, the President rules in the US with veto powers and countries like Pakistan and Singapore have both a President and a Prime Minister. If democracy rings the bell of freedom for many the world over, let us be reminded that it will never be futile therefore to fight for its purity.
