Blessed Nation

Will you be blessed by the gtace of Allah?

Congratulations to the new UMNO President, DSNTR for winning the seat uncontested. Being a son a former PM and his own vast experience in the government starting as an MP and then being the youngest Menteri Besar, cabinet minister and finally as a Deputy of the PM certainly qualifies him to be the President and eventually the next PM of Malaysia.

In terms of his experience, he is indeed qualified to be the PM and hopefully by the grace of Allah, he'll be able to deliver and fulfill his onerous obligation in leading this blessed nation ours in tumultuous future at least until his time is up. Never before in the history of this young nation having a very controversial and scandalous figure to head the government. Behind his soft appearance, he proves to be a harden and stubborn politician. He has since his involvement in politics been linked to numerous and eye opening controversies but those involving Altantuya, Scorpene and now Eurocopter are the most significant and thus can't be easily brushed aside.

Although he has vehemently deny his indirect or direct involvement, he fails miserably to deflect the attention and now many are excited to see his style of governance. Many while admitting his excellent job in improving the life of servicemen but are wary of stand on ISA since many see him as TDM protege who as we know is not ashamed of manipulating the laws for his so-called stability and security of the nation.

What some feared and myself included is the future and fate of Malaysia since we willingly or unwillingly have chosen a figure with ambiguous morality to head the government. What will become of Malaysia if we continue to turn blind towards morally ambiguous leaders to lead us. Leaders are supposed to be the reflection of great leaders with impeccable morality and not those who are merely experienced but morally blurred.

Nonetheless, lets us pray that those leaders we have duly elected realise the burdensome obligations that come together with attractive perks. Hopefully, they will always abide and remember the concept of Amanah in dispersing their duties.
