TILL DEATH BRING US CLOSER ...
I am
actually happy to see that senior Malaysian politicians from both camps
are paying tribute to the loss of a good soul resting in peace ... a
symbolic and honest act of honoring a man who has done so much
in showing Malaysians young and old how a Constitution need to be
upheld as the highest source of the law of the land, and what it means
to help those in need seek justice.
Though I had the chance to
get a few glimpses of Karpal Singh, in court when I briefly sat in to
observe the proceedings of the Sodomy II trial a few years back, I felt
that I had known Karpal for a long while as a deeply respected man of
high principles as well as high morality. Of course as a young man
studying political theory and writing papers on Malaysian politics, I
had read about him and knew of his stature as Malaysia's best lawyer.
One poignant reality that is emerging is the sense of genuine
multiculturalism amongst the young, I have been reading in cyberspace
not only honoring Karpal but in condemning those attempts by bankrupt
religionstas to disrespect the man whom Heaven must be waiting to honor
his good work on Earth.
I think we are moving towards a good
first step in political maturity and in showing each other what
religious understanding and acceptance mean and how we must move forward
as a society by learning from the best of the political minds whose
life is devoted to a calling, not just a career, of helping others gain
their voices and power amidst a society that has become totalitarian,
oppressive, religiously abusive, and also one that has produced a regime
whose lifeline and livelihood is sucking dry the blood, sweat, and
tears of the powerless ... all in the name of maintaining the supremacy
of not only a monocultural political system but also the sustenance of
political dynasties.
Till death bring us closer to a more saner politics ...
REST IN PEACE, Karpal Singh Sir ...
We shall continue to defend the Constitution in honor too ... of what you have lived and died for -- ar

Its also sad to see so much hatred being sowed onto the dearly departed. The saddest part is, those alive still harbour so much hatred and unwilling to let go.
I can only imagine what this hatred may manifest in this Earthly World before one faces the Almighty in the After World.
