Do you know the story of King Solomon who was considered a wise king in the Bible?
Basically this is the story:
Two women were arguing about the right to claim a baby and the case was brought up before King Solomon.
He declared that the baby should be cut in half to settle the case.
The two women acted differently:
One woman agreed that that was a good solution while the other pleaded with the king -
"Spare my child - I would rather let the other woman keep it than to kill it."
That's woman's sacrifice immediately revealed that she was the real mother.
So how can Solomon's wisdom be applied to the political turmoil that has been caused by the Perak government "turnover" or overturn?
Just look at some of the letters in today's malaysiakini:
Palace should play neutral role in advisory capacity
Criticism in the name of democracy
The rakyat should never be made the loser
These letters are well articulated and with compelling arguments for a democratic Malaysia. It looks as if Solomon's wisdom is present in each and every Malaysian who believes in democracy and the rule of law.
Just remember that "eternal vigilance is the price for liberty" and if you do not pay the price your liberty can be lost.
ALLAH help all Malaysians!
