Mere words cannot allow me to describe how brave and great he truly is. I believe that Malaysians are not aware of the importance of human rights issue. Just compare our high school history textbooks and the history lessons other countries like America has and you will see the difference. During my generation in form 5, I had to restudy our local history again which made me hated history. You will also notice that our textbooks emphasized more on our local politicians, in which I believe, has not contributed as much as great politicians outside this country like Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King. I believe our local history regarding to the fight for human right is certainly short not to mention our country is only 50 years old. We need more people like Triple Y in this country.

In Malaysia, only those in power and those with proper connections have rights. All others are what the Chinese term as "clawless crabs", waiting to be slaughtered. What rights?
