Fitrah manusia sebenarnya mendorong dan cenderung secara tabi'e agar untuk menerima dan mengikuti kebenaran. Qalbu manusia `by nature' sentiasa meruntun untuk menerima yang baik. Namun kadang-kala kita sering bertindak menongkah tabi'e tersebut kerana `kepentingan' yang hendak di jaga. kadangkala ianyanya menjadi percaturan dalam hal yang lebih besar dan mempunyai kepentingan dan percaturan yang lain.
Pun demikian, pandangan secara `micro' dalam sesuatu perkara itu elok juga di dengari walaupun sukar. Pohon Ipoh yang getahnya diguna sebagai racun, selalunya dianggap racun dan tiada yang menanamnya di kediaman. Pohon Ipoh sinonim dengan racun. Namun Ipoh juga diguna untuk menuba Ikan.. ikan yang akhirnya dimakan oleh manusia.
Lim Kit Siang bagi UMNO adalah racun politik.. ia adalah musuh yang tiada kompromi... bagaikan pohon Ipoh.. pun demikian, ada ketikanya buah fikirnya patut juga ditinjau dan dengari... mungkin untuk membetul diri.
Petikan tulisan beliau ` In the last Parliament, in keeping with the perverse notion of “Support Barisan Nasional, right or wrong”, a new rule was formulated for all Barisan Nasional MPs that they cannot support Opposition motions whether right or wrong and cannot vote according to their conscience but must toe the party line.
As a result, the then Chairman of the Barisan Nasional BackBenchers Club, Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad (now Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister) was forced in May 2006 to resign from his post to avoid disciplinary action against him for speaking up in favour of my privile
ge motion in Parliament to refer the then MP for Jasin, Mohd Said Yusuf to the Committee of Privileges over the impropriety of an MP asking the Customs and Excise Department to “close one eye” in a case involving the import of sawn timber in Malacca.
It was in disgust at such obtuse and petty-minded mentality where individual and party interests were placed above parliamentary, public and national interests that the Malaysian voters rose as one to teach the Barisan Nasional a salutary lesson in the March 8 “political tsunami”, depriving the BN of its hitherto unbroken two-thirds majority in Parliament and power in five states.
In the March 8, 2008 general election, Malaysian voters crossed ethnic, religious and even party lines to vote for change and the Lee Kah Choon saga would have been one opportunity for Barisan Nasional leaders to demonstrate that they have heard the voices of the people and are prepared to emulate the voters’ example to put aside personal and party differences for the betterment of the people, state and nation.
Initially the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi sent out the right signals in his first public reaction on Tuesday on Lee’s appointment and acceptance of the posts of Penang Development Corporation (PDC) director and InvestPenang executive committee chairman – that for him, “it’s okay as long as there is no clash in policy”.
However, in a matter of a few hours on the same day, Abdullah was prevailed upon to ignore the voices of the people in the March 8 “political tsunami” and to come out with a hardline stand declaring that Lee’s decision was “against the spirit of BN” and requiring action from the Acting Gerakan President, Tan Sri Dr. Koh Tsu Koon.
The latest pronouncement on the matter came from Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy Barisan Nasional Chairman Datuk Seri Najib Razak yesterday that Lee’s acceptance of the two Penang state government positions was against the “clearly stated policy of BN” – making it the most unknown “clearly stated” BN policy as the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and BN leaders had not known about it for 48 hours!
One important reason why Malaysia had lagged behind other countries in economic development and international competitiveness in the past four decades is because of the country’s failure to give top priority to meritocracy and excellence in nation-building.- Lim Kit Siang'
