1st Malaysian Bar Closed-door dialogue on issues facing multi-racial society
its been a short and sweet weekend in KL...i was so overwhelmed and fortunate to be able to join the 1st Malaysian Bar Closed-door dialogue on issues facing multi-racial society...it was a great and awakening exposure that i believe each and every one of us should be part of this sincere and honest effort of the bar council towards bringing us, malaysians closer in the name of justice and humanity, through the medium of law...and in the effort of realizing the very basic principle of justice that is never alien to us, even when we have to make certain reconciliation as to remedy the differences that result to different needs and rights of certain individual of society that need to be attended to...as to ensure that one's right and need wouldn't have to be severely affected at the expense of upholding another's right..as justice is unconditional...
ive learned a big lesson that day..it all comes down to one thing..."understanding"..in order to understand..i realize that the first thing that we need to do is to be honest to ourselves so that we can be honest to others with great impartiality..whenever we have something to say because of our belief on something..we have to be honest to step forward and tell others why do we opt to think this or that way..what are our exact concerns..and why it is important for others to lend their ears and understand because i believe that justice is never meant to be conditional..its meant to be implemented and realized as it is the only guarantee towards a just society...
but as of now..all that i can see is the enormous ego of individuals to defend their stand by closing the door to even offer an explanation to others who dont seem to grasp the concept in question..even worse some individuals who just blindly follow what they think is right without doing the subject of the their concern any justice as they refuse to use a legitimate medium in establishing their premises. and i guess that's the sad part of the story...and what makes it even appalling is when they justify this in the name of the Religion when they themslves lack an understanding of what Religion is all about, and this then would lead to misunderstanding and misconception that would eventually corrupt the sanctity of the Religion itself...
to sum up, its only when we are prepared to be honest to ourselves that we can be honest to others and reciprocally..and only then we can achieve the ideal of a just society which is no longer a utopian dream....
