Mata Najwa: DPR Uncensored
Welcome back, people. After a fortnight missing posting an article about Mata Najwa, I'm now back to give some updates about the show. I am not about to tell you about the second episode of Mata Najwa (one that hashed the details of the most earth-shaking scandal in the century: Century Gate). I guess you and I have it enough. We see news on Century Gate scattered almost anywhere on TV while surfing the channels. Posting one more piece of news about that would only nauseate me and you. Furthermore, the scandal is more an issue to solve than a topic of discussion. The more we are trying to know, the more we're likely to see a blind guess, libel, false accusation, groundless prejudice, etc. Just look at how screwed up things have become after too many people speak. I don't mind freedom of speech but when that freedom has been overly practiced and taken for granted, I'd say the situation is as disastrous as the deprivation of such freedom during ORBA (Orde Baru- a period when Soeharto reigned) to the nation. Too much of something is as bad as too little of something. We love freedom yet at the same time need boundaries. I'm not against freedom of speech but we just need a balanced situation.
