TAKE a bow, all you Malaysians who openly and steadfastly tread the middle ground. By doing so without fear or apologies, you have shown that moderation need not be a passive brand of mere acceptance and tolerance. No, moderation requires constant engagement and visibility or else it risks being shouted down by extremism.
Your support for initiatives such as the Voices of Moderation campaign, the open letter by the 25 eminent Malays and the I am #26 online petition proves that there are many people in this country with moderate views and ideas who care enough to stand up and be counted.
