Minang is 'Minangkabau', a clan in Sumatra. The clan has a symbiotic relationship with the buffalo, or 'kerbau' in Malay or 'korobau' or 'kobau' in the Minang dialect. 'Minangkabau' is derived from 'menang kerbau' -- win buffalo. The Sumatran clans pitch their buffalos against each other, and the Minangs have the reputation of having the fastest buffalos in Sumatra. This blog isn't much use to anyone else though. There are no revelations and no discussions -- just a Minang's folly.

A lot of fuss
I don't know where this country is going to ... surely it's not going forward very fast with people so determined to keep it in some tight and narrow path to .... to ... oblivion.
At the risk of sounding agnostic ... or even atheist, I am bewildered that we are fighting to holding on to 7th century beliefs ... Muslims and Christians alike.
Is it not possible to live in this century?
