I guess the whole of Malaysia is following with bated breathe the inquest of Teoh Beng Hock, the guy who was called in to MACC for an "interview" and then found dead, fallen out the window to his death.
The inquest may have a narrow scope and we are sure that is not what the family wanted seeing the tragic circumstances of TBH's death but even with a narrow scope, we actually want to watch the "drama".
People say life is like a stage. When it comes to politics, this is a stage larger than life. Everyone involved has a role to play. It does not matter which side of the political divide one stands on, everyone seems to have a scripted role. They do what they are told to do, say what they are told to say.
For the rest of us who KNOW that politics is a very dirty game and stay away from it except to try to make our votes count every 4.5 years, dramas like these make good reminders of where our vote should go in the next General Elections.
