Is it okay for me to fart also ?
Tun Mahathir Mohamad, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, praised the Iraqi insurgents for their roles in the Iraq's conflicts. He deliver the words of encouragement to the insurgents on February 7th 2007 where he convened an ALTERNATIVE War Crimes Tribunal to fight for 'justices" for abused victims in Iraq, Palestine, and Lebanon. In respond to Mahathir's forum, the Foreign Minister, Syed Hamid Albar, said Mahathir is FREE to express his views as citizen of Malaysia because "This is a free and democratic country and it's very nice to see freedom being exercised"
How nice to have a former senior politician from Malaysia wanting to fight for INJUSTICES in the world. I am indeed deeply touched by Mahathir's passions to fight for justices for NON MALAYSIANS, and Syed Hamid's assurances of allowing Malaysians to exercise FREEDOM OF EXPRESSIONS.
Wow, what a noble gesture and intention ! But, before we start beating our chests, looked and commented on other countries' backyards. Why not for a start, Mahathir champions a Domestic Human Rights Crimes tribunal in Malaysian to fight for equality and justices for all Malaysians first ? Why not initiate actions to identify, shame, and prosecute racial pariahs, grievances seekers, and rent seekers in Malaysia ? These good deeds of championing equality, justices, and human rights in Malaysia will gain him more domestic and international respect and score more credit points from GOD. Our words in international arena should be consistent with our actions domestically. Otherwise, we will always end up being viewed as international pariahs by civilized societies.
I have limited political knowlege of the Middle East. But, ONE fact I do know, those warring parties in Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine are always perpetually at wars with each others and among themselves, where all the parties always claimed God is on their sides, and they always potrayed themselves as the aggrieved parties. Let us as Malaysians have the moral impartiality of not getting involved in other countries affairs where we have no knowledges. And, I believed we will never be able to understand the madness there. So, let us not be blinded by our misguided hatreds or biases to blindly take side and indirectly become a guilty party that encourages more violences in that lands of perpetual warfares.
By being influenced by our misguided biases to take side will eventually perpetuates and encourages the warring parties to commit more violences. And, let us not put ourselves in the vicious cycles of violence begetting more violences. Malaysia, as a signatory of the charter of United Nations should allow and support United Nations' effort to manage the middle east's conflits there. So, I guess we do need to behave in accordance to our commitment to the charter of United Nations and not let emotional comic strips behaviors influencing our moral objectivities. If we think the United Nations is incapable of implementing fair international justices, then we should have the moral courages to withdraw our membership in the United Nations. Otherwise, keeping our mouths shut and refrained from biases would be much appreciated by the civilized world.
Another War Crimes Tribunal ? Fighting for injustices and inequalities in other part of the world ? Please lah, let's us practiced what we preached in our domestic affairs first before we ventured outside the country with perceived inappropriateness.
