I have found a new word to describe myself.
I always seem to ask questions that don't make people feel comfortable.

I was at the MRC monthly meeting.
The speaker commented that most Malaysian books are mediocre, only a handful are exceptionally good.

During Q+A, I asked, "Is that a reflection of the Malaysian society as a whole, OR the Malaysian literacy state , OR the Malaysian publishing business?"

Cynical+Nervous laugh from both audience and speakers...
and no answer...
