Malaysian politicians lack iron will, integrity | The Malaysian Insight

WHEN I was researching Singapore and its success, I came across an article on the confrontation between Lee Kuan Yew and the SIA pilots Association which happened in the 1980s. The association had grievances over pay and working conditions, and initiated an unofficial work-to-rule policy, which means employees will only do the bare minimum required by their rules of their contract. Due to the unresolved situation, Lee stepped in to rein in the crisis.

What inspired me most about Lee was his resolve in giving the ultimatum to the pilots’ association to go back to work and restore discipline and then come back and argue their case. He was not willing to be hijacked by behaviour that could be detrimental to the operations and standards of the airline.

In his subsequent speech to the public he brought up the issue and said that those who govern Singapore should have this iron will. It showed a man who was willing to start over again because of his principles against behaviour that could break up a national asset that took years to build. How can we distinguish a leader like Lee, who has resolve and principles, with politicians in this country?

Then there are current PH leaders who are working towards at least getting 129 MPs to their side.

While the whole world scorned at U, we gracefully treated U here Yet now U abuse our leaders, spread slanders, scorned us, tell us your right to drink beers & many more If U really hate this country you may always choose to migrate to Wuhan or Hong Kong & cried democracy there

unbelievable 😱

Especially in midin’s gov

💰💰💰💰💰💰

Well if politicians on both sides are not dreaming of just positions and idolising seats then maybe we will get somewhere
