马来西亚民主吗?

引用龙应台的文章:《为台湾民主辩护——与华人世界对话》

“民主,就是手上有一本护照,随时可以出国,不怕政府刁难;民主就是养了孩子知道他们可以凭自己本事上大学,不需要有特权;民主就是发表了任何意见不怕有人秋后算账;民主就是权利被侵犯的时候可以理直气壮地讨回,不管你是什么阶级什么身份;民主就是,不必效忠任何党,不必讨好任何人,也可以堂堂正正地过日子;民主就是到处有书店,没有任何禁书而且读书人写书人到处都是;民主就是打开电视不必忍受主播道德凛然地说谎;民主就是不必为了保护孩子而训练他从小习惯谎言;民主就是享受各种自由而且知道那自由不会突然被拿走,因为它不是赐予的。

民主并非只是选举投票,它是生活方式,是思维方式,是你每天呼吸的空气、举手投足的修养,个人回转的空间。这,在小方格窗里是看不到的。所以如果你对小方格里的混乱失望,不要忘记,真正的民主在生活里,在方格以外的纵深和广度里。”

如果龙应台对民主的认知和定义无误,哪我想在我有生之年民主不会在马来西亚落实。
