Kampung Facebook

Facebook is like a kampung. Everyone knows everything. Sometimes I can't stand it and I want to delete my existence from it and not have any association with it. Between the intimate details of relationships, the wall posts (that should be private) and pictures I really don't want to be tagged in.... But at the same time, I love it. I love being connected to everyone and knowing what's happening with all my friends. 

So like in any kampung, word spreads. Collective sentiments become very clear. I don't know about you, but a lot of things in the way this country is run is making me angry. I feel helpless and I feel fearful. The only thing I know how to do is to use the devices on this kampung to let people know, "I think this is unacceptable!"

I don't want to demonise anyone or call people names. I just want to hear a collective voice that indicates we care. I care that a 22-year-old gets tortured to death by police. We care that people we voted for are being ousted from the privacy of their sleep. 

So if you feel something, post it, blog it, twitter it, announce it on your status.
