AS I sat in the Hyatt Centric Hotel watching the boats streak across the sea to several islands in the distance, I recalled the night’s conversation with Sabahan friends who hosted a dinner wanting to ply me with questions on Islam, the Malays and how Sabah would be affected from the craziness in Semenanjung (Peninsular Malaysia).

As usual, with all the talking I had to do, I had to tapau my dinner lah. I never liked dinner meetings, lunch talks and anything that combines eating while talking because I can only talk or eat and not both! Susah lah, ini macam!
