Find
out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of
injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue
until they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of
tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.
Physical courage in
battle and moral courage in public life are issues that would require more time
then what we have to address. But to me moral courage is of a higher and rarer
virtue than physical courage because it means facing issues and making
decisions that every human instinct would rather avoid.
How is it that money
politics in UMNO has come to it’s present state of affairs? It did not just
happened last week, last month …last year. It would have taken many many years
for money politics to become the end all and the be all of all things UMNO. How
many UMNO Presidents, how many UMNO Supreme Council members – how many Mentri
Besars and Ketua Bahagians have colluded to allow the cancerous growth of money
politics to grow to its current terminal stage that UMNO has suddenly realized
it is now in? Did nobody in UMNO had the moral courage to stand up and
questioned this lapse in ethical conduct that was many years in the making? How
did things get this far?
Nobody in UMNO has
the integrity to stand up with dignity and against all odds, say “This is
wrong”. This is why I say that
moral courage is a higher and a rarer virtue seldom found amongst men and women
– certainly none was found within the midst of UMNO when it was most needed.
And harder still to find one that lives these values.
Actually can find from within those that speak up against.
ReplyDeleteKu Li is the best example.
And in him also u have the best example of what happens to those who speak up against the UMNO power brokers.

In some case of human psychology, when people are poverty-stricken whoever gives them money or food they support them. SImple. They do not care about politics and who is in power. Survival to live is first priority. After they have enough then they will create problem/trouble when they wake up and think that they have been used.

ReplyDeleteKata-kata saudara memang benar dan keadaan di mana 'moral courage' yang dibincangkan di blog saudara amat menyedihkan kerana masalah ini bukan sahaja ketara tetapi malangnya, menjejaskan kemajuan negara Malaysia yang kami cintai.
Perenggan terakhir dah meringkaskan sebabnya berlaku ancaman 'kanser' ini.
Terima kasih kerana saudara berani meluahkan perasaan kerana mempunyai persaan patriotisme terhadap Malaysia.

Pak HH, you know what. After analysing Bagan Pinang result, UMNO will die from money politic...like wine if over consume becomes poison. In the end all UMNO leaders with money would like to become MPs/YBs and there will not be enough seats to accomodate all. The poison will then trickled in.
