All the power and authority the government has was given by the People! That is why history claims that People Power is priceless.

If we don't have the right to do anything, then we cannot delegate such a right to any government! We cannot give to anyone or anything any power or authority we do not have.

There are three types of law ie the Law of Nature, Law of the Land and Private Law. Today, Private Law prevails beyond anything else as it is always a contractual issue that defies the base law of nature and law of the land. It endows on humanity a certain unalienable right to freedom and truth, to live fairly and equally within a society.

The nonchalant and lack of action by People Power, ie you and I, bestows more power upon the Executive for the needs of the few. In order for a law to be proper, it must be just and able to protect the rights of all equally, without violating the rights of any. There is nothing mysterious about proper law as it is based on humanity and common sense based on the Law of God, ie Natural Law and the Law of the Land, ie Common Law.

Imagine, millions of hits on RPK's Malaysia-Today and many eloquent commentors, yet only a few hundred at his Anti-ISA Vigil at Dataran Merdeka and his trial. Damn!!! I feel sorry for him. Then again, no; because he did what is just and right without any expectations. He did it for truth and humanity. RPK may just be another martyr for what he trusts and believes in but I for one trust in him.

Please don't ask me what I have done, as I do not see the need to justify myself to those RPK commentors that find it such a game to conduct verbal jousts online. Yes, I may sound arrogant and self-righteous, but you don't know me or what I am capable or incapable of. Why judge me, or judge anyone? Explore yourself and find the truth and justice in your own self. Save your pessimism and your hopes on how others should act to yourself.

Read your own mind and see what you are able to do other than commenting and blogging. Our lives these days are built on fear and intimidation. Is this how you want your children to live?

Our selfish preoccupation with our own individual needs is what causes the government to act without regard for the people. And we are the ones who have given them this power because it is what we are good at. We are all good at looking after number one. Why blame the government for being the same?

I wonder how the passive and self-indulgent Malaysians will respond. Everyone has a role to play but if you do nothing, then you achieve nothing.
