We should not squander the time given to us, doing only what endless greed dictates.

COMMENT | I have been described as being "morbid" by some when I was young, when I told friends that we should never think we will live long, or even live forever.

I started talking about "what if I died before 30?" And when I did not, I shifted the last lap to 40, and so on. I am turning 78 this year and I am always asking myself "what if I died tomorrow?" Certainly, it's not being "morbid". Only being realistic. As such, I put my tenure in public service in that context. To do whatever good that I can. To put nation before self. To contribute my small efforts, within the bigger team, to help leave a better Malaysia for the generations of Malaysians coming after us.

I am the 'tomorrow's guy' who had seen the yield of the work done by the 'todays' guys'. Frankly I am not impressed. The todays haphazardness are definitely the baggages of the yesterdays' lots. Nobody (leaders) in his or her right mind will ever confess their 'WRONGS'

We hope that the current government will be gone tomorrow
