SAYING SORRY COMES WITH INTEGRITY & HUMILITY, BOTH QUALITIES THAT MAKE GREAT LEADERS.
YOUR Prime Minister (mine is coming soon) said: I do not see why we should apologise (to Tun Salleh Abas. Tan Sri Wan Sulaiman Pawanteh and Datuk George Seah), but let us decide when a cabinet paper on the matter is presented.
He used the majestic WE, which according to adat is reserved for royalty. He should have said, “My government…..”. A royal rap on the knuckles is appropriate. No?
Is it so difficult to just say, “Sorry, we have messed up your life and put your reputation and that of the judiciary into disrepute.”
He could even have said (and maybe gain some credit points that he very much must accumulate, if he intends to hang on before MY PM announces his imminent advent.): “I will say it for Tun Mahatir, because it is only the right thing to do: Sorry SIRS”
Say it lah, with truthfulness and humility and in the true spirit of Islam Hadhari. That could gain you some time and maybe forestall the impending entry of my next PM.
We are used to deriding the Australians every time they make a misstep towards us. We call them children of ex-convicts. etc, However, there is still honor amongst them. John Howard was arrogant and he paid for it. Bush was arrogant and he is the most abhorred US President and he is lucky not to be impeached for lying about the WMD. Blair was arrogant and he got dumped. BN was arrogant and they got snuffed and now possibly dysfunctional. WE JUST NEED TWO GUYS TO SAY SORRY. If they continue to be recalcitrant, I hope this clip can do some good. In the name of the Almighty, be humble. BOTH OUR RELIGIONS ASK US TO BE HUMBLE and it was Thomas a Kempis who said: HUMILITY IS TRUTH. Allow me to say it for Barisan Rakyat (I am not comfortable with Pakatan…..as it has connotations with pakat): WE THE RAKYAT ARE SORRY FOR THE MISDEMEANORS INFLICTED ON YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES ALL THESE YEARS. FORGIVE US FOR TAKING SO LONG TO APOLOGISE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES.
CURRENT AUSTRALIAN PREMIER KEVIN RUDD APOLOGISED TO THE WHOLE NATION AND WE ARE ASKING OUR GOVERNMENT TO APOLOGISE TO THREE AND THEIR FAMILIES AND TO THE FAMILIES OF TWO WHO HAVE PASSED ON.
WE STILL CANNOT AND WILL NOT SAY “SORRY”?
JUST REFLECT ON THIS CLIP. IT CLEANSED A WHOLE NATION.
