Greed, lust is the political capital now - superadmin - 08-08-2021

From Tariq Ismail Mustafa

It has been 48 years since the late Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman left us. His legacy for us was an independent nation headed towards a bright future, centred on a constitutional monarchy democracy that was strong and respected by all.

If he could see the current state of the country he helped build, he would be disappointed and angry to witness this nation whose universal values have been torn asunder by the greed and voracious appetites of power-hungry politicians.


Who would have thought that the generation that he entrusted to continue the struggles of our forefathers to defend the fate of the people and the country is now the Brutus to his Caesar.

It is an abomination that the state of current politics is such that the prime minister leads a band of politicians whose loyalties can be horse-traded to provide political sanctuary for him and the Perikatan Nasional.

Where in the past the welfare of the country formed a common political objective that bonded the political parties, the situation is quite the opposite now. It is the personal political benefits that is the priority. Now, greed and lust is the political capital to the point it treads upon the Federal Constitution, the King and the country.
