The sky will not fall
Lady Justice: Justice should be blind and serve everyone. — Agencies WHEN I was a mere schoolgirl many decades ago, I took a class on logic. The idea was to teach us how to think logically, to move from one fact to another in a straight line and come up with a viable, demonstrable conclusion. I found that logic came naturally to me although I'm not sure why. Perhaps it's because if you stick to facts, you will come to a logical result. It might be nice to exercise some imagination when you're writing fiction but not when you must write about evidential things, say for example, in History exams. In our world today, I find that logic is often cast aside in favour of whims and fancies that come straight from someone's head without any grounding in facts and figures. Others may suggest these come from ruder orifices. We've seen some global examples recently that have resulted in dire consequences for groups of people.

Right to learn, right to safety in schools
WE send our children to schools believing they are safe places where they can learn – but a recent report has shaken that belief. The Fire and Rescue Department recently revealed that out of 853 schools inspected for fire hazards, 144 were flagged and 767 enforcement notices were issued for defective firefighting equipment, missing exit signs, absent emergency lighting and other safety lapses – that's one in six schools in a single nationwide sweep.

No quick fix in reform
Keeping it together: While some feel the pace of reform under Anwar's administration is too slow, the reality is that getting anything done with a coalition government is not easy or quick anywhere in the world. — Filepic/The Star THE Anwar administration is midway into its five-year term and one of the strongest criticisms it faces is that reforms are slow. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's opponents have even gone so far as to say that reforms are dead. The reality of many Opposition leaders anywhere is that when they get into government, they find out one major truth: change cannot happen overnight.
