Make a stand and make a change
I refer to the Malaysiakini report PM: They've disrespected sultan's decision .
At all times, our conscience would be clear if we are guided by the federal constitution especially its colour-blind aspect, the concept of rule of law, democracy, human rights, the checks-and- balances inherent in the doctrine of the separation of powers.
Others measures include transparency, public accountability, free and fair elections and rooting for the best and brightest no matter who to lead the way in every field at all times for the betterment of all of us.
We should also take a stand against AliBabaism, rent-seeking activities, makan atas angin , nepotism, cronyism, corruption and collusion. We should take a stand against packing the government departments with hardcore card-carrying fanatics and racists from the political parties and take a stand against the abuse of government machinery and places of worship by political parties.
We should take a stand against the same small group taking all government-created contracts and business opportunities and other opportunities and take a stand against the creation of political dynasties.
We should also take a stand against the government media being abused by political parties.
We should also take a stand against the mainstream media and the financial institutions being controlled and abused by the government and hardcore card-carrying members of political parties.
There will be no peace, security, stability and prosperity in this country until Umno accepts the fact that Ketuanan Melayu -ism – whatever it means – is dead; Umnoputra-ism is dead; that it can no longer get a two-thirds majority in Parliament; that it lost five states and Kuala Lumpur in the last general election and perhaps will keep on losing until it enters the dusty annals of history.
The Indian and Hindraf issues will evaporate overnight if the government honours the constitutional provisions on equal rights for all and allow the brightest and the best, no matter who, to lead the rest of us in every field of national life and human endeavour so that all of us, the nation and the world, will be a better place.
Previously, the brightest and best used to flee the country in droves – they still do to a certain extent – but now they are increasingly staying back to fight for change.
No one craves for chaos. But as the famous Cambridge University physicist Dr Stephen Hawkings says: ‘The only predictable property of the universe is chaos’.
