Sense

Let's learn some English....the word is 'SENSE'.

There are many meaning to this simple word. However, in view of the current situation in Malaysia, political uncertainties, perhaps it is worthwhile to understand this word and instill some sense to those "empty heads" out there.

So, I just pick 3 meanings that best describe the need to use this word in their heads when making decisions that concern Malaysians by and large. Here goes....

i) Sense = Natural understanding or intelligence, especially in practical matters
ii) Sense = The normal ability to think or reason soundly
iii) Sense = Something sound or reasonable

Have you the clever Malaysians missed something here? Or got a good grasp of its meaning? Of the 3 meanings I put up here, surely the general perception given now is THEY are way off track. Citing this 'draconian law' as an example, you still read and hear THEM put out words that go beyond our SENSES.

Without wanting to take side this time, I would hope that anyone that wanted to lead Malaysians must have a great SENSE i.e. to see, hear, speak, think and even smell "what's going on" on the floor. Aptly put it, the GRASSROOTS (the in-word among our political parties, isn't it?).

Sadly, many lack even the basic sense especially when the going gets tough!
