Lately some Buddhist friends forwarded me some of the appeal emails for Teoh Beng Hock’s case. They were very sad and angry about the death of Teoh.
Some of my friends called me up and told me about their shocked to read the death of Teoh.
Many of them expressed its deepest disappointment on this country and the way its govern.
There is NO MORE HOPE in this country.
Some strangers I met while I was having my meal at the vegetarian restaurant kept discussing the death of Teoh. Feeling of empathy and disgusted towards the MACC was so clear expressed.
Some even kept forwarding the video that was uploaded in one of the blog which seem to be link to be scene of MACC and how Teoh was beaten up. The scary thing is people truly believe this was what happening to Teoh. That’s why they kept forwarding such video clip.
On the 1 August 2009, almost 20,000 people who gathered peacefully in Kuala Lumpur were brutally attacked by the polices. 75 times tear gas and acid water shot towards these people, included old people, disabled and children who were there to rally the call for repeal of draconian detention without trial act: ISA .The chaos happened in KL cities was created by the BN rule government and the police due to their fascist attitude of against the basic rights of the freedom of expression and assembly. This universal human rights principle is totally not something this fascist regime can understand at all. The heavy handed & violence suppression actions towards the dissident voices was the only method of this fascist regime know to deal with! So sad, is not it ? In this new era of Malaysian political leaders of this country who had studied abroad, and even sending their own kids to oversee enjoyed the freedom of expression, assembly abroad. But their own citizens are not qualified and capable to enjoy this rights! And, the police role downgraded into the attackers to the peacefully assembly people, instead of assisting the peaceful rally to be organized smoothly in the city. Even country like Thailand who Malaysian think a chaos country also has enjoyed the freedom of assembly/expression relatively better then Malaysia.
After nearly over 3 months of Najib become the new premier, the BN government ‘s record on good governance and respecting basic human rights of its citizen has even worsening ! Some people said, maybe he can soon match the previous 20 years rule fascist rule Dr Mahathir Mohamad. For us, who were fought so badly to defend our rights during DR M ‘s rule will definably not forgetting all those brutality acts of the past. Infect from the day that Najib appointed to be the new premier , some has predicted : Life will be more tougher soon. We soon back to dark age of Dr M!
It is irony to see the new generation of political leaders as such going to govern the nation for us in the coming years. Many complaint.
Their mind ignorance & deep clinging to power has blinded them badly. No matter what people have told them. They cannot let go.
It is bad infect, they kept making these bad deeds and .when their karma is ripening, they have to bear it . No matter what prayers you had make, either go to church, temples and mosques,
100 times of tours to Mecca to clear the sins & confessions.
Once I was told by a Tibetan rinpoche in his talk in kl last May 2009, he said :“It is not a shame to make a mistake. It is indeed a shame that those who had make mistake but yet cannot let go its ego and kept refused to recognize it/confess & repeating the mistake.”
Therefore true confession can only come with true honest inner realization and change in our own heart/ mind/actions. Not by making propaganda and also making donations to monk/temples or prayers at Mecca.
These external efforts will be in vain if we don’t transforms and clear our own ignorance minds. These are my deep advise to those leaders who claimed to be Buddhists and Muslim in the ruling parties. Your confession inside your heart is the best temple and holly Mecca place to take refuge. Not your lips service.
!Infect, the fundamental way to clear the true sin can only be purify, infect only by our inner deep honest confession and act to correct it. If our own hearts are not move by it own calls, who else can feel it?
Infect, we no need to be any faith believers to realize this and do it.
No need travel so far to the holly places to do this. The most holy place in this unversed is located inside our own mind/heart!
