As a young Malaysian, I am thoroughly ashamed of our Ministers – our Deputy Prime Minister, our Education Minister and Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department. Their remarks to the media in the last few days have caused me shame as a Malaysian : Cabinet to mull royal panel for Teoh’s death, Teoh’s death politicised to divert attention from MACC probe, Stop politicising Teoh’s death, Nazri warns opposition and Minister : Don’t blame MACC
Why ashamed?, some may ask. Let me tell you why. For these men to be Ministers, Malaysia must be really lacking in resources – good people with conscience, people who know the law, people who understand separation of powers and most of all, people who can think and act fairly for all. The inability to understand the issue at hand is the reason they would utter such remarks. I don’t need to be a genius to point out that there’s something wrong with these remarks. They lack conscience. I am also ashamed of my fellow Malaysians who have voted in these men to be our Ministers. Those who still want to remain silent and be apolitical – tell me if you would remain steadfast in your views if Beng Hock were to be your son, brother, fiancee and friend.
I am now convinced that there are no more good men left in Barisan Nasional.
