Political debate
is a common practice among countries that practice democracy, Malaysia alike. In
a way the debate can highlight each aspiring leader’s vision and commitment to
bring progress and success to the nation if he should come into power. The
ruling government of the day and the opposition are two standard entities in a
democracy. Whoever wins will be the government of the day while the loser will
be the latter. No matter how strong the differences are, there is a common
similarity between these two entities; both are made up of Malaysians.
Therefore, if
any differences of opinion exist, it is imperative to remember that deep down
all of them are from the same country. Our leaders should have this mindset
entrenched and should not go around accusing their opponents of being traitors or
colluding with foreign powers to enslave Malaysia. Debate on policies. Leave
the name calling and personal attacks out of the context. Only then the nation
can move forward headed by authentic capable and intellectual leaders.
God bless Malaysia
with true leaders.
