Law and Colourless People


For the past 2 weeks events that have taken place in our country are simply amazing. After 50 years of independence, we are still indulged with race, religion and colour. As inspired by our forefathers aspiration the path that we are on is not on 'original' direction.

Why?

Why do people become so narrow minded?

What are they going to acheive alone in this country?

The basic principles of the formation of our country are based on the interests of people as a whole. Please remember this, my dear commarades.

We do not want to have another May 13th. We will not. As Faris Noor had advocated we already passed that dark phase of history. Let's the history to be remained there. We have to move on and Malaysians are already moved on. The 2008 election results had proved that.

We want to be a developed nation. Fine.

To acheive that we have to be open and willing to discuss. We need to be brave. Yes, we need to have guts if we want to acheive that goal.

Are we on that direction? Sadly not.

What is the point of we just playing with the phrase so called "developed nation" when we are still not on that direction. We miserably failed to observe the importance of the rule of law which has been created to safeguard the interests of mankind disregard of race, religion and colour.

Malaysian irrespective of race or religion is a good friends but then the politicians have make used the situation for their political gains. We must blame a politicians for their racist attitude and use the democratic process to show our disatisfaction. One of the way is to out-do the race based political system and use of voting power to change the future.

Mr Barack Obama will be creating history in the great state of America. If he became the president of USA than he carries with him a 400 year of African American history to the Oval House. With him he carries the inspiration of Martin Luther King " I dream " visions, with him he shoulder the struggle of Rosa Park and with him the inspiration of many other giants of black civil liberties movement in America. He will not be alone there in the Oval House, with him there multitude of ethnic in his administration who will work regardless their race for the country that they love and will defend. we can said anything about them but can this ever happen in any other country who claim that they have higher morality than any other society. can this ever happen in this country that i love without condition. can there ever be a chiness prime minister or indian army chief in this country?

Brexit: A lesson for Malaysians

Yesterday, Britons through a referendum made a decision to leave European Union. The ruling Conservative Party divided on this referendum and David Cameron in favour of ‘Remain’ was defeated outright. Even though he is disagreed with the decision of Britons, he announced that he is resigning from his premiership in respect of people’s decision. We can expect in a mature democracy country like United Kingdom this is vastly anticipated to be transpired.   A few days ago, the current Chief Commissioner of Malaysian Anti-Corruption of Commission made a statement that he is stepping down from his position and there are some rumours indicating that a few prominent officers from the said Commission will either resign or retire. It’s very eccentric news for Malaysians as it will have a profound impact on bribery and corruption issues in Malaysia as a whole. Recently, the results of two by elections were won by Barisan Nasional, the ruling party of Malaysia. Many promises had been...

Two Tales, Two Leaders - PART 1

Man has dual nature; he is both his own person and a member of his country. On the one hand, the law must protect the individual from the injustices of the multitude.  History has shown how individuals fall prey to mass perversity, their crime being simply a refusal to conform to the beliefs and prejudices of the majority. Anwar Ibrahim, The Asian Renaissance, 1997., Page 63. The value system and ethical code therefore determine the success or failure of corrective measures. If the value system is wrong, corrective measures will not be productive or will be only slightly productive. When the value system motivates, very little corrective measures are needed. Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad, The Malay Dilemma, 1970., Pages 172-173. Introduction Malaysia is our motherland. We love our country. This country has so much of wealth. Even though, Malaysia has agonized considerably in past three decades because of the malpractices of the corrupted characters but she is never fail t...
