To have a discussion at kedai mamak over a teh tarik often offers you the chance to put things in perspectives in a rather simpler way without to impress anyone else. It’s sometimes interesting to find out that the outcomes from the discussion are a lot more matured and very thought provoking.
Our society has somehow drifted away from the idea of engaging in public discourse due to the fear of being trumped by those who are cleverer than them.
But I think, the culture is slowly coming back (not that I lived in the past to witness all this). We now have more platforms to express our ideas and engage with the public in various public forums.
To build a society which is governed by the idea of wisdom and knowledge is not easy. It may take ages to realise that.
