inferiority complex thy suffer…

*Prominent political analyst and country’s think tank, A Razak Baginda is prime supect of bombing and killing a  Mongolian native, Altantuuya which had hogged headlines and front page spreads for weeks.

*Yahya whoever-was-his-last-name; Golkar representative and Indonesian Cabinet member resigned after his sex tape with dangdut singer circulated among the commoners.And he was supposed to be leader of moral and religious affairs department.

*Sigh.
These, I mean THESE are brilliant, intelligent,charismatic figures in their respective fields. They are supposed to be country’s leader and were previously held in high regard because of their position and important role with regard to nation building.

Take A. Razak Baginda ,who boasts a near perfect credentials.A Kings College graduate, a doctorate from Oxford and some might say, he also scores in the looks department.
Every morning, when you turn on the TV , there will be at least 60 % chance you’ll see him get invited as guest speaker in shows like Selamat Pagi Malaysia, Sehari Bersama Pemimpin, Malaysia dan Ekonomi and tall sort of these serious, mind -boggling shows.
He was  the guy on TV  who’s engaged in discussion about potential economic downturns , intellectual talks about future market predictions, and answers questions in economic forums.After being too used to the fact seeing him on intellectual TV,  you could say i was deeply disturbed that he’s being accused of bombing people around in his spare time.

Zakaria here needs no introduction after all the hogging of headlines he had managed to achieved. And boy how he has nerve, after snubbing the titah sultan, he called for a press conference and pleads;

" I have 11 grown children.And theyre all living with me.The space is not enough"

Ehem. Cant you just wait Mr zakaria?, Just wait a little bit untill the permit is given.After all, you helped created that law and you are the one who governs it.

What is exactly wrong here? I mean theyre all fully grown, matured public figures. The kind of people we respect and look up to in the society strata.Whatever it is, we can count education out.Hey, Razak Baginda has an IQ of 165.Nothing short on brains there.
People come to them when in doubt or uncertainty which they brilliantly thought of a solution and provide answers.Unfortunately it seems that they cannot think when a moral question was posed to themselves.

They cannot think that having an affair when you’re married is a clear cut wrong .

They succumb to stupidity when temptation came seducing to broke the very law they swore to protect.

And certainly people have the most clue that its code red to commit adultery when you are the leader of religious department for heavens sake?

Its frustrating to see all the brains and talents wasted on such stupid failure to control own lust for brief euphoria. It made us wonder, does dizzying high education is really the answer? Or do we need to create a balance, a more holistic approach which also emphasis on character building and strong moral values.

I believe our increasingly narcisstic souls displays a certain poverty of the basics; being nice to people around you, never to smear family integrity, and defending precious little thing called honour.

I’m no think tank nor a municipal council but what i can safely say is,

Uphold what religion tells you and yes, it might be good to start listening to your parents . ( yah,yah ,i just realised this)

Insya-allah, there will be light accompanying the whole way.

Writer note: The writer might sound oh-so-bagosla-kononnye but trust me, she’s flawed, like any other human being. This post also double up as her own reminder, so she wont be a bitch when shes’ all grown up and powerful.Now she  just feared for her friends.
