I do know that we do at times experience the same reality differently .
You might like a song or a movie immensely, but a friend might just think it is ok.
You might have had a really wonderful time at a party, but your wife might think that it was just alright.
But it is one thing to differ in degree about an experience, but it is another thing to differ about it completely in substance.
If you had a wonderful time at a party or thought a movie was great, but your wife had a miserable time there while you friend thought the movie was absolutely awful, you no longer just have a difference of opinion about a movie and a party with your friend and wife, you might need to question your friendship and marriage altogether.
You might, because the both of you are experiencing a completely different reality, despite living in the same world.
Anyway, this is what I thought when I saw a picture in a FB group, as shown in the attached picture above the Jackie Chan picture, claiming that Anwar is doing a great job and he is the best PM we ever had.
Coming so soon after I read about a Merdeka Center survey that refers to Anwar as the most popular leader we have right now, it made me wonder if it was me that is going mad or is it other people in the country that have completely lost their minds.
I certainly don't think that Anwar is doing a great job and I am not at all convinced if he is popular with anyone.
Now to be fair, I am not saying that I believe Anwar is to be blamed for everything breaking down in our country, but I certainly do feel that everything is breaking down in our country under his watch.
Race relationship is breaking down.
At least one royal institution is breaking down.
Religious harmony is breaking down.
Institutions like MACC and FAM are breaking down
Regional relationship is breaking down so alarmingly, that not only Sabah and Sarawak, even Johor...Johor, ladies and gentlemen .... is talking about leaving the federation.
The economy might be breaking down too, because even Anwar's own government was saying the economy was running in crisis mode, just a couple of months ago.
The relationship between the parties in the goverment is breaking down.
Even Anwar's own party PKR is breaking down.
Heck, even the relationship between the parties in the opposition is breaking down.
Everything, in other words, falls apart under Anwar.
I personally haven't met anybody in two states and 3 postcodes who have had anything good to say about Anwar for at least 6 months.
When this is how I am experiencing reality, to find surveys and testimonials saying that Anwar is the most awesome PM that we have ever had, who is taking us from bad to good, good to better, is a surreal experience.
I feel that somebody has to be crazy in this country for this to happen.
If it is not other people that is crazy, then it must be me that is losing my mind, because we are certainly not experiencing the reality of our country, anywhere close to the same way
