All are equal before Nature and Laws of the Country.
It is high time our Ministers take a lesson or two from the neighbouring countries
particularly Singapore as to how Ministers and bureaucrats conduct themselves
and how they are in no way different from the ordinary citizens. Walking a few
steps will not and cannot undermine the status of the Ministers. On the
contrary, it will only enhance his image among the public. Nature does not
discriminate human beings by their status in society is the simple truth
our bureaucrats and political leaders have to understand. They are also equal
before the laws of the nation and wherever they adhere to such universal
theories , the country prospers, people will have welfare and the general standards
of living will have some class.
