Make Malaysia a safer place to live in

In response to the speech by Dato' Zaid Ibrahim at the Royal Rotary Club, Kuala Lumpur.

"Indeed, Malaysia is a blessed country. Not a single Malaysian can afford to turn his or her back to our beloved country. We, Malaysians do not expect our leader in question would repent and step down, and let the 'chosen' one be our next PM. At least,we hope that in order to give us a peaceful sleep at night, let alone a competent PM, all politics be set aside and let someone who is and is seen to be with integrity to lead our country to a safer place to live in."

"SABAJAYA"

The vision of a new age for Sabah's political revival. We stand equal on our national stage. We stand tall to be proud citizen of Malaysia and the World.

Do we need a new law on race relations?

Before any step is taken to decide whether we need a new law on race relations or not, the first and crucial question we should ask is: ‘what is the basis of the calling of the new law? Is it only a reactionary measure or knee-jerk reaction of someone from Bukit Bendara had said something?” To ensure the effectiveness of implementing a new law, a good democratic practice must be done. For instance, representatives from every community have to be consulted and to have a white paper and referendum on what is the state of ethnic relations in Malaysia and to see if we really need this new law. Our politicians must fully understand the state of affairs in this country before a new law is implemented. Some of our politicians support the enactment of Race Relations Act thinking that this will safeguard and strengthen ties among different races. What about its implications, its mechanisms to enforce the new Act, its remedies, etc? these are more relevant and important areas that our politicians should look into rather than just to create a new law whenever someone says something. As we are aware, any law or Act which contradicts the Federal Constitution is null and void. Our country has a lot of Acts and laws and the Constitution which address the issue on race or ethnic relations. We do not need a new law just because someone has uttered something for the reason only God knows.

What a righteous man we have lost

We are all sinners. We all have committed the biggest sin ever, Apathy. When we were slapped on our right cheek, could we still remain silent or let the other left cheek being slapped?

A great righteous man has left the judiciary, quietly. His heart has died. His heart has died not because of his heart has lost its function but because of the serious internal ‘organ’ failure in the system and the external pressure. Every now and then, I would take out the small little blue booklet which was given to us on 12 June 2002 which starts with the following words:

JUST THE BEGINNING
"You have done your parents and relatives proud for having struggled these past years as to enable your call to the Bar today. Society should be proud too because being learned in the law you will be contributing and serving society rather than a bother. You should also be proud of your achievement since the toil had borne result. Having said that I think I will do you all an injustice if I do not tell you what really lies ahead for you in the legal profession.
I will begin by saying that today is just the beginning of more sweat and toil before you can gain recognition. It has to be more sweat and toil because in law like many other disciplines there are no short cuts. It requires diligence, thoroughness (which means hard work), honesty and integrity, to name just some of the qualities required which incidentally are universally accepted good values.”

The amount of work and contribution towards the profession by this righteous man is indefinite. No man in this system has done as much justice as this man did. He has been done justice in all of his cases and he has been brave to pronounce the truth in his judgment in Sibu. Why can’t we do justice to him in return? Why should he be penalized by doing justice to himself and to his family? Aren’t we supposed to uphold “honestly and integrity” in our profession? If yes, and why there was no “Amen” from the Bar?

His works have changed life, not to mention to those who have escaped from the gallows.

Our destiny will be the same if we continue to live in apathy.

“Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever.” Ps 112:6
“The righteous man leads a blameless life; blessed are his children after him.” Proverbs 20:7

May the Lord hear our Prayer.
