She also didn't know what habeas corpus is.

Russia: Centralized in Practice

Officially a federation: Has "federal subjects" like republics and oblasts with their own constitutions.

But... power is very centralized: The Kremlin (central government) heavily controls most political and economic decisions.

Autonomy often symbolic: Regions have limited ability to go against central policies.

Strongman politics: Central authority overrides local decisions if needed.

Spirit of Federalism?
Weak in practice. Centralized control dominates despite federal structure.

* Did you know?

The Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) is not just history — it's the foundation of Malaysia.

✅ Sabah & Sarawak did NOT join Malaysia — they CO-FOUNDED it together with Malaya and Singapore.
✅ MA63 is an international treaty signed by all parties and witnessed by the UK.
✅ It promised special autonomy to Sabah & Sarawak in areas like immigration, education, religion, and resource control.
✅ Full MA63 implementation = a real federation, with equal partners — not central control from KL.
✅ Honoring MA63 is NOT anti-Malaysia. It is how Malaysia was meant to be: fair, united, and just.

We don’t need to fight to divide. We need to speak up to restore.

Today, I share thoughts prompted by a recent chat between comedian-journalist Jon Stewart and UK politician Rory Stewart. They reflect on democracy, and how our current, wretched state of affairs is an extension of failings in our preceding system.

When we bear up to those failings, instead of pretending that any of this came out of the blue, we start to grasp the immense work needed to build our world in anything even approximating a better way.
