I have been thinking of doing this for a while now. To set up a blog where I can talk about development, and the issues of development, and my fascination with UN. I wanted it to be thought provoking. I want it to inspire discussions in the comment box. I want to find out what the rest of the world has to say this term of ‘development’ that was once upon a time coined by the League of Nations in the 1940s.
Of course, in an ideal world I would be worldly and capable of talking about global political issues like it lives at the tip of my fingertips. In this world, my posts will probably be confined to South-East Asia, the country from which I am from and the country that I happen to live in at the moment, and perhaps the country that I happen to visit at that time.
For a while now it has intrigued me the amount of influence and discussion some blogs can generate. How does a blog make it big? How does someone like jeff ooi make so many people, even teenagers want to quote him and sound cool? How can some opinions of a person caused him/her to get in trouble with the authorities and perhaps spend a night or two in the lock-up? I don’t know the exact answers to these, but what I do know is that all of them have something important to say and they are saying it.
.. and so here goes, my important 2 cents for the world
your 2 cents only seemed to last 2 weeks. this is a good blog, keep it up, it can go somewhere.
