Been quite a while since I last wrote to you.
Caught your latest post, Dumb People, that was reproduced in Malaysiakini.
I thought you missed out 2 other categories of people who avoid speaking up the truth.
The arrogant and the forgetful.
My mind goes back to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the VK Lingam scandal and the testimony of two inidivduals before the commissioners.
VK Lingam, himself, of course.
And then there was you.
One avoided the truth with a “Looks like me, sounds like me, but is not me” stance.
The other, it seemed to most, suffered a most acute loss of memory at the most opportune time.
“I do not remember”.
“I do not remember”.
“I do not remember”.
We remember.
You concluded in your post that “between all these dumb people the country is going to the dogs”.
Throw in the arrogant and the forgetful, too,

The politics of integrity succumbed to the man-made dictates of the system that is slowly but surely evolving into a shape we of the Merdeka generation of 1957 will never recognise.
Our education system was also vandalised over the years. To be sure, it produced a greater number of students, most of whom proved inadequate to in our march toward progress.
In the interim, our putatively independent Judiciary was subjected to challenges from the Executive, challenges that left our Judiciary with form but not substance.\
Even our bureaucracy has sometimes been found wanting.
So, where are we going as a nation? Quo vadis, Malaysia?

Hahahahaha…..that’s telling that old, corrupt and racist MahaFiruan who unofficially sent this country to the dogs ( maybe the beautiful “dogs” is the wrong choice of word bro) during his long term as pm. I’d like to call it “this country has from then on become one huge sewer”.

Harris,
It’s very easy to blame Tun M for being forgetful base on general knowledge of the hearing. For me the way the RCI was conduct is simply to tarnish the name of Tun M. Why? Until today no one has been prosecute or any serious action was taken.
Forgetful? Try to answer this in 20 seconds : who did you met at 7:00 pm, Saturday, 20th July 1996?
Tun M write to PMO and request for copy of PM daily activities records so he can answer the inquiry. Unfortunately, the request was denied and classified OSA.
By then Tun M already made conclusion that the hearing just to embarrassed him so he decide to play defence strategy.
There are always two side of the event!!

Since we can remember all what he said and did, shall we then call him a cowardly human being.
Who chooses the times that he wants to forget…….let’s help him HONOUR his memory.
Bravo Haris, it takes a person like you to call a spade a spade!!!!

Yes we remember all what he said and did…..in fact we are helping him to HONOUR his memory.
It is time for him to make an effort to cleanse his memory otherwise he will be bound to a certain period in his life which brought uncertainly and fear in other persons’ lives.
Like Mr. Lee of Singapore who went into an emancipatory mode towards the end of his life to free him from sin.
Thanks for the memory Haris….bravo!!!
