 Ada pepatah - "Apabila rasuk utama bengkok, jangan harap rasuk kecil lurus."

 

Ia dikaitkan dengan Guru dan Ahli Falsafah Cina yang hebat, Confucius.

Sejarah mencatatkan Ketua Menteri Negara Lu, Ji Kangzi bertanya kepada Confucius tentang politik. Confucius berkata kepadanya, "orang politik betul. Siapa berani tegak atau tidak?"

Ji Kangzi bertanya kepada Confucius bagaimana untuk mentadbir hal ehwal politik.

Confucius menjawab, "maksud kerajaan adalah tegak. Anda memimpin, siapa yang tidak berani?"

Confucius berkali-kali berkata: "kalau perangai sendiri betul, iaitu tidak memberi perintah, orang di bawah juga tahu melakukannya; jika tingkah laku sendiri tidak betul, tidak ada yang akan mendengar walaupun dia memberi arahan. ."

"Jika tingkah laku sendiri betul, apakah kesukaran dari perspektif politik? Jika anda tidak berkelakuan dengan betul, bagaimana anda boleh membetulkan orang lain? " Mencius juga berkata: "jika anda tidak tegak, anda tidak boleh membuat orang lain tegak."

Dengan kata lain, jika rasuk atas tidak betul, rasuk bawah bengkok, dan rasuk tengah tidak betul. Sains politik Konfusianisme menekankan peranan pemimpin yang teladan, yang konsisten dengan idea membina kerajaan yang bersih dan jujur.

CAN OF WORMS – oleh ‘pembohong bersiri’ ?

Maju pantas 2022 - Bekas PM Malaysia Najib Razak nampaknya tidak berasa kesal atau bersalah kerana mencelupkan tangannya ke dalam balang biskut berkaitan 1MDB. Lebih teruk, dia bukan sahaja menafikan sebarang salah laku – malah mengalihkan kesalahan kepada orang lain serta mengadakan jerayawara perhubungan awam di seluruh negara untuk mempromosikan – ‘Apa Malu BossKu ?’. (‘Mengapa berasa malu, Bossku?’)

Ia hanya menunjukkan betapa 'mabuknya' dia dengan kuasa - sehinggakan dia percaya bahawa dia boleh melarikan diri 'bebas daripada kejahatan' dan hampir tidak boleh disentuh.

Bagaimana itu untuk 'kuasa rasuah dan kuasa mutlak rasuah secara mutlak'?

Tetapi kemudian, KEBENARAN tidak dapat digoncang - tidak dapat disangkal.

Sebagai Yang Arif, YAA Tun Tengku Maimun binti Tuan Mat berkata -

"Mengenai kes pembelaan, mahkamah menyatakan bahawa Najib tidak pernah mempertikaikan bahawa dana SRC International memasuki akaun bank peribadinya."

“Sebaliknya, dia mencabar elemen mens rea bagi kesemua tujuh kesalahan itu, iaitu (dia) menafikan pengetahuan bahawa dana itu adalah daripada SRC,” kata penghakiman itu.

Pembelaan itu, kata mahkamah, "sama sekali tidak konsisten dan menentang sama sekali" terhadap pembelaan Najib yang lain bahawa beliau telah menjadi mangsa konspirasi antara Low Taek Jho (a.k.a. Jho Low), Azlin Alias, Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil, dan pihak bank, dan wang itu adalah derma yang diterima olehnya dari Arab Saudi.

"Kami tidak ditunjukkan mengapa (penolakan hakim Mahkamah Tinggi terhadap pembelaan Najib) tidak betul," kata ketua hakim negara, sambil menambah bahawa pembelaannya "secara semula jadi tidak konsisten dan luar biasa" sehingga, apabila dipertimbangkan secara keseluruhan, ia tidak menimbulkan masalah. keraguan munasabah.

"Kami tidak dapat membuat kesimpulan bahawa mana-mana penemuan ini, seperti yang disahkan oleh Mahkamah Rayuan, adalah songsang atau jelas salah sehingga memerlukan campur tangan rayuan," tambah ketua hakim negara.

Omar Suleiman merumuskannya dengan sempurna apabila dia menulis dalam Face-Book pada 2 November 2017 ·

“Ada pepatah mengatakan untuk menyembunyikan pembohongan, seribu pembohongan diperlukan. Selalunya seseorang yang terlibat dalam penipuan terkurung di penjara penipuan mereka sendiri."

Dari Abdullah bin Mas’ud radhiyallahu ‘anhu, ia berkata: “Rasulullah SAW bersabda, “Kejujuran membawa kepada kebaikan dan kebaikan itu membawa ke surga. Seseorang akan terus bercakap benar dan berusaha untuk bercakap benar sehingga dia dicatat di sisi Allah sebagai orang yang benar. Berdusta membawa kepada kemungkaran dan kemungkaran membawa kepada api Neraka. Seseorang akan terus berdusta dan berusaha untuk berdusta sehingga dicatat di sisi Allah sebagai pendusta.” (Bukhari)

Semoga Allah melindungi kita semua dari dosa berbohong, dan sakit dibohongi. Amin

Dipendekkan cerita – Ada yang menggelarnya ‘KARMA’ – yang lain akan berkata ‘SATU TUAI APA YANG SATU TABUR’. Intinya ialah - "JENAYAH TIDAK MEMBAYAR"

*******************************

(English Version)

There is a saying - “When the main beam is crooked, don’t expect the lesser beams to be straight.”

It is attributed to the great Chinese Teacher and Philosopher, Confucius.
History noted the Chief Minister of the State of Lu, Ji Kangzi asking Confucius about politics. Confucius said to him, "a political man is right. Who dares to be upright or not? "
Ji Kangzi asked Confucius how to govern political affairs.
Confucius replied, "the meaning of government is to be upright. You take the lead, who dares not? "

Confucius has repeatedly said: "if one's own behaviour is correct, that is, he does not give orders, the people below also know how to do it; if one's own behaviour is not correct, no one will listen even if he gives repeated orders."

"If one's own behaviour is correct, what are the difficulties from the perspective of politics? If you don't behave properly, how can you correct others? " Mencius also said: "if you are not upright, you can't make others upright."

In other words, if the upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked, and the middle beam is not right. The political science of Confucianism emphasizes the exemplary role of leaders, which is consistent with the idea of building a clean and honest government.

CAN OF WORMS – by a ‘serial liar’ ?

Fast forward 2022 - Malaysia’s former PM Najib Razak didn’t seem to feel any sense of remorse or guilt for dipping his hand in the 1MDB-related cookie jar. Worse, not only did he deny any wrong-doings – he even diverted blame to others as well as going on a nation-wide public relation roadshow to promote – ‘Apa Malu BossKu ?’. (‘Why feel shame, My Boss?’)

It only goes to show how ‘drunk’ he was with power – so much so that he even believed that he could get away ‘scot-free’ with his crimes and was virtually untouchable.

How’s that for ‘power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely’ ?

But then, the TRUTH is unshakeable – irrefutable.

As Her Lordship, YAA Tun Tengku Maimun binti Tuan Mat said -

“As regards the defence case, the court noted that Najib had never disputed that SRC International funds entered his personal bank accounts.”

“Instead, he challenged the mens rea element of all the seven offences, that is, (he) denied knowledge that the funds were from SRC,” the judgment noted.

That defence, the court said, was “completely inconsistent and diametrically opposed” to Najib’s other defences that he had been the victim of a conspiracy between Low Taek Jho (a.k.a. Jho Low), Azlin Alias, Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil, and the bankers, and that the monies were donations received by him from Saudi Arabia.

“We have not been shown why (the High Court judge’s rejection of Najib’s defence was) incorrect,” the chief justice said, adding that his defence was “so inherently inconsistent and incredible” that, when considered in totality, it does not raise a reasonable doubt.

“We are unable to conclude that any of these findings, as affirmed by the Court of Appeal, were perverse or plainly wrong so as to warrant appellate intervention,” the chief justice added.

Omar Suleiman summed it up perfectly when he wrote in Face-Book on 2nd November 2017 · 

“There is a saying that to hide a lie, a thousand lies are needed. Too often a person who engages in deception is confined to their own prison of deceit.”

Abdullah Ibn Masud (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man will keep speaking the truth and striving to speak the truth until he is recorded with Allah as a man of the truth. Lying leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to Hell fire. A man will keep telling lies and striving to tell lies until he is recorded with Allah as a liar.” (Bukhari)

May Allah protect each and every single one of us from the sin of lying, and the pain of being lied to. Ameen

To cut a long story short – Some will call it ‘KARMA’ – others will say ‘ONE REAPS WHAT ONE SOWS’. The bottom-line is - “CRIME DOES NOT PAY”
