Wither Justice and Trust

Could We Ever Trust Them?

Luck surely is not at their side right now, or maybe it has nothing to do with luck. While they are rejoicing the concocted fact that voters are gradually returning to their side, out of the blue someone died in the vicinity of one of the government enforcement organ, long has been tainted for their unorthodox way of doing their works.

For now, only the Almighty knows what really transpired there but everyone and surprisingly one of the newspaper owned by one of the coalition party, seem to have doubts in the circumstances of the unfortunate death. His passing on the eve of his marriage is certainly warrants suspicion. Logically, one who is getting married should be in cloud nine or should one be in it? It is reported that his fiancee is carrying his child but again according to report he does not even know about it yet.

It is hard for the police especially to come up with a satisfactory findings since they too are caught in the midst of confidence scandal together with many other agencies. One can certainly comprehend their predicament. Coming back to MACC, today one of Sabah's opposition party laments their action of selective investigation which is sadly quite apparent.

While the Opposition has time and again lodge countless reports against the government (read the ruling coalition), MACC has so far been dragging their feet and seem reluctant even to open a file but when it comes to reports against the Opposition , they seem to possess extra strength and speed to investigate and subsequently come out with guilty verdicts most often than not. Admittedly, such scenario may not be their fault since they are merely following order from higher ups. Nonetheless, they should remember that there is one who is mightier than the bosses up there, the Almighty Himself.

Whatever the government agencies are doing though they are on the right track but damage has been done and once trust is betrayed oftentimes it remains as such and they will never again regain the lost trust. Look at what happens to the Lingam tape, although the Royal Commission has come out with a guilty verdict but so far every government agencies including the one which is supposed to try the matter, so far has done nothing.

Malaysians need to remind themselves that mere physical development in the forms of bridges, schools etc aren't enough for a good government. As mentioned above, trust is one of them without which a government is merely a tool for unscrupulous people to enrich themselves in place of the mass. Time has come for Malaysians to take a bold step in changing a government which no longer has our trust. Be Brave!
