I believe everybody at least in Malaysia is aware on the on-going Royal Commission of Inquiry on the video clip of a ‘now-famous’ lawyer, VKL. People get famous for a lot of reasons, but when your name is published in papers, internet, sms, mms for a crime, then it’s really not something anyone should be proud of. Let alone, if you are allegedly brokering for the highest judicial appointments of the country (the very institution that reflects ‘Transparency, Justice, Fair, Integrity.. to name a few). Personally, I do not want to comment on the inquiry, the video clip, the lawyer or any witnesses testifying on the stand, and we are talking about VVIPs, high profile individuals which includes the former PM and CJ. I do believe that you are innocent unless proven guilty. There’s always 2 sides of a coin. Let the court do its job.
Anyway, while I was reading about the drilling questions a commission member asked TEC, a well respected former CJ on his relationship with VKL, questions that later supported by evidence (photos) of his close relationship with the lawyer (on trial…mmm who is actually on trial here???) it occurred to me there are lessons to be learned from this episode. Some will say, we should emphasise on more integrity, responsibility, honesty in life or practice higher ethics. Lets just look at the basic Codes of Ethics listed in the Prime Minister’s Dept (Among them are - Intergrity - to practise values of honesty, sincerity and integrity in all matters; Responsibility -to possess high accountability and responsibility in performing duties, without abusing power and position for self gain or other interested parties; and a few others..)
Me, I think a bigger lesson here is....... that we will all be trialed one day. And on that day, no one will be spared (yup, that includes YOU and ME), we will be judged by Allah the Almighty in the most just court room ever. On that day, we will not be able to say, “No, I can’t remember” or “No, it was not me….” as on that day, all our previous actions on earth will be presented in front of us. We will be asked for the smallest thing (the air we breath – have we used it wisely) to be biggest of things (how we have used the wealth, health etc given to us). Therefore, I seriously think that the biggest lesson to be learned from this is that we should act as how the prophet (s.a.w.) has defined “Ihsan - 'It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, for though you do not see Him, surely He sees you'. If we act in Ihsan, then insyaAllah we will pass the 'Ultimate Trial'...
Hey that’s my 2 cents on the issue, what’s yours???

As human we should be accountable for all of our action. I truly believe in that.
Anyway this Lingam trial has really push our judiciary system to an all time low. A former chief judge was quoted saying a few months ago that when he went for tarawikh a few people went ahead and ask him. "Dato / Tan Sri dulu ni siapa yang lantik?"
Pretty interesting, :)
what is scary all these misuse of power, corruption etc prevails in our society..
It is a matter of time that things will come out in the open. Life is like a wheel. I remember the Buddhists' belief of Karma or Wheel of Dharma or something along that line...eventually, it will come back to haunt you.
However, the real question is whether we as Malaysians have the courage to make the change and take the risk to make the change!
Let's ponder on the possibility...or we are too complacent with where we are and what we have to jeopardise the equilibrium of the existing government.
