Kuala Lumpur: For many youths, the fall of Kabul in Afghanistan to the Taliban fighters is shocking. Similarly, for many young people in the 1960’s, the fall of Saigon was a significant turn in history.
These two iconic moments will be on top in history books and will be alongside the fall of the wall of Berlin as well as the fall of communism in Russia.
On the other hand, it is futile for US State Secretary Antony Blinken to reject parallels between the chaotic scenes unfolding in Kabul and the humiliating fall of Saigon in1975!
