Morality as good as Accountability: Message to Minister Shahrizat
A Question of Morality
by www.freemalaysiatoday.com
"When a man's energy of tolerance runs out, afterwards whoever is in front of you, if a slap is given, afterwards a brain is put behind in place. That is a only highway open now." India's anti-graft campaigner Anna Hazare upon how to bring corrupt politicians to their senses.
It is only in Malaysia which ministers will not give up frankly when they strike a stinking patch in their domestic career. They will cling to their seat similar to a leech for fear of losing a hold up of privileges as good as power. So it is with a singular apportion who is sticking upon for dear hold up to her bureau despite a liaison which has brought contrition to a country.
Shahrizat might not be a direct participant in a failed multi-million ringgit venture though by mere organisation with a project, she is positively a celebration to a unsavoury business. She might beg her innocence, though it will not change a grim fact about her family members allegedly siphoning off open money for their personal use. She cannot squirm her approach out by arguing which she is an "outsider". A family is not made of outsiders.
When a call came for her to go as good as meet a graft-busters, she gave a impression which she is unassailable as good as guiltless by virtue of her eagerness to be quizzed. She even thanked a corruption-fighters for giving her a event to tell her side of a story. Was she invited to a "barbecue party"? Were they all having a great time laughing off a critical matter?
Wh! en a cha irman who binds a open bureau is pulled up by a authorities to answer critical allegations of wrongdoing, he or she goes in underneath a clouded cover as a suspect. Your name is not cleared only since we cooperated frankly with your interrogators. Your name is not cleared until as good as unless a whole "mess" is spotless up to a finish satisfaction of a law enforcers as good as a public.
The authorities might not pursue a "dung" route after listening to all a explanations laid out upon a table. They might be confident with a minister's "defence" as good as close a box though it is not starting to remonstrate a open a singular iota. In a face of ban "data", any try to chuck a file in to a dustbin will pound of a cover-up. The box is of open interest as good as cannot be discharged out of hand. More so when a apportion is related to a debacle. Shahrizat might not be during a centre of a storm, though she herself cannot shun from a large fallout. This is a high-profile box as good as her ministerial standing has been severely compromised. A open figure contingency take a rap when his or her family members have been mired in a scandal. It is what is called collateral damage.
Clean government
Ultimately, it all comes down to promoting a purify government. An ideal supervision is a singular where a hands of every Cabinet apportion contingency be clean. It means a number a singular trainer himself contingency not have a singular spot upon his record. If a conduct of supervision is himself not above suspicion, he cannot design his ministers to toe a dignified line.
If a supreme leader has skeletons in his cupboard, he will not have a dignified authority to lead 
the country. Then a incident will arise when all a ministers will be safeguarding each other's behind since al! l have i n a singular approach or another been complicit in a little dim act. The Cabinet becomes a gang where similar to disposed crooks have been only meddlesome in appropriation more energy as good as wealth. As a result, if a singular falls, all fall.
The predestine of a apportion is not solely determined by a Prime Minister. The latter might choose his ministers though it does not meant which he additionally decides when they can stay or go. A apportion does not need a permission of a Prime Minister to renounce over a make a difference of impropriety. He or she can give up upon dignified grounds.
If a overpass collapses, a apportion obliged for infrastructure should take dignified responsibility as good as step down. Do not put a censure upon God (that is a Samy Velu way). Do not wait for for a big trainer to pronounce for or opposite you. By giving up your in front of in a Cabinet, we will spare a nation a pang of anger, contrition as good as resentment. It will be a supreme action of bravery if a Prime Minister himself takes a censure upon himself for a misdeeds of his apportion as good as call it a day.
Malaysia has nonetheless to witness a day when a Prime apportion as good as his Cabinet renounce en masse upon allegations of abuse of energy or corruption. One nation in a Middle East as good as another a singular in Eastern Europe saw only such dramatic event unfold in new times. The governments there did not wait for for review to be finished in to complaints of crime levelled opposite them by a opposition. They give up upon their own accord. Nearer to home a vast sub-continent is experiencing a "crisis of credibility" in a face of autochthonous corruption, which might good lead to a rain of a ruling government.
In Malaysia, domestic energy is a prize which is fought for as good as contingency be shielded during all costs even if it means on foot "over dead bodies". For with energy comes untold riches as good as constantly abuses. A one-term ministership is enough to turn a ! homeless in to a fabulous fat cat. When a rotten Cabinet will not crawl down to a will of a people, as good as "public tolerance has run out", it is left to a adults to administer a slap or two upon a faces of politicians to "bring them to their senses".
