The results of the Reader's Digest Honesty Survey were revealed recently. This survey involved about 1,800 respondents aged 18 and above in 9 Asian countries :: Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.
The Star in its report headlined :: Survey : M'sians are an honest lot. The Star has given the results a Boleh Land spin. What the survey really had to say was that Malaysians are 'honest' about their 'dishonesty'; as Malaysians chose the "honest" way in dealing with 7 of the 10 dilemma questions posed.
The Straits Times reported under this headline :: S'poreans will tell pals if spouses cheat. The kiasu Singaporean will tell his best friend if he saw the man's wife having a romantic dinner with a stranger, but has no reservations about using pirated software or evading tax, if he thinks he can get away with it.

"I do not aim at fusion. Each religion has its own contribution to make to human evolution.
I regard the great faiths of the WORLD as so many branches of a tree, each distinct from the other though having the same source.----Mahatma Ghandhi.
