Salm dan hi...
Tadi YB ada baca The Malaysian Insider... so ada satu post yang agak menarik post tu ada satu quote yang YB dari dulu cuba cari... ni adalah link post tu... orang bercakap mengenai isu BERSIH 2.0...
"First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out
— because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out —
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak
out — because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out —
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak
out for me."
~ Martin Niemoller, German pastor who opposed Adolf Hitler during the Holocaust ~
Apa yang kita boleh belajar dari cite sama la macam cite kat bawah ni...
* * * * * * * * * *
A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and
his wife open a package.
"What food might this contain?" the mouse wondered.
He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.
Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed this warning:
"There is a mousetrap in the house! There
is a mousetrap in the house!"
The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her
head and said,
"Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of
no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."
The mouse turned to the pig and told him,
"There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the
house!"
The pig sympathized, but said,
"I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about
it but pray.. Be assured you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow and said,
"There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the
house!"
The cow said,
"Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my
nose."
So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the
farmer's mousetrap
. . . .Alone. . .
That very night, a sound was heard throughout
the house -- the sound of a mousetrap catching
its prey.
The farmer's wife rushed to see what was
caught. In the darkness, she did not see it. It was a
venomous snake whose tail was caught in the trap.
The snake bit the farmer's wife.
The farmer rushed her to the hospital.
When she returned home she still had a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup.
So the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main
ingredient:
But his wife's sickness continued. Friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.
To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.
But, alas, the farmer's wife did not get well... She died.
So many people came for her funeral that the farmer had the cow
slaughtered to provide enough meat or all of them for the funeral luncheon.
And the mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great
sadness.
So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and you think it
doesn't concern you, remember this story…

Dalam cite ni... quote kat atas... memberi pengajaran bahawa... masalah untuk seseorang atau untuk satu kaum itu pada satu ketika akan juga masalah orang len...
Bukan pada hari ini... hari esok
Bukan pada hari esok... mengkin hari seterusnya...
Kerana itu kita perlu sedar... akan hal ini dan cuba membantu masalah orang len...
Macam kes BERSIH 2.0 ari tu...mungkin pada ari ini kita tidak dikasari oleh polis... tapi mana tau kemudian hari masa kita pula... kalau kita tak cuba bendung dari awal...
Sama juga dengan isu pilihanraya dan SPR... mungkin ari ni kita masih ignorance... tapi satu hari nanti kita mungkin menyesal kerana tidak cuba mengubah keburukan yang ada dalam sistem pilihanraya sekarang...
Jangan jadi macam isu gambar kartun Nabi Muhammad... orang kutuk dan hina Nabi Muhammad baru nak bersuara... baru nak memberontak menentang kezaliman... walhal... kezaliman yang sebenar nye ada pada diri kita... iaitu orang tengah hina Islam kat Palestin... tengah hina Islam kat Lubnan... dengan menghalau dan membunuh umat Islam di situ...
Hatta... ajaran nabi Muhammad yang paling mudah pun masih tak boleh buat... iaitu tuntutan lima Rukun Islam dan menutup aurat...
Kita la sebenarnye yang mengutuk dan mencaci Nabi Muhammad dengan melupakan ajaran yang dibawa baginda... tak masuk lagi isu couple dan keluar malam laki pompuan yang bukan mahram...
Oleh itu... mari la cakna dengan isu tempatan mahupun luar negara... agar kita menjadi pemimpin yang bukan sahaja memimpin... tapi mengajar orang len untuk memimpin lebih hebat...
Mari la mengubah sebelum terlambat... kerana mencegah lebih baik dari mengubati...
P/S: Nak cuba buat entri... Seminggu Selepas Bersih 2.0...
