TUN MAHATHIR WAS NOMINATED by the Bosnians for the prestrigious nobel peace prize. Apparently the Bosnians never forget. Unlike us, they appreciate a good gesture when they receive one even though many, many years ago. Because at one time, Tun heard the isolated cries of a nation in agony, and answered her call.
Its funny how we treat our heroes; giving them praise and affection only after they've gone. Look at the late P Ramlee. We gave him a Tan Sri only after his passing.
My question for the day is: why is that? Why must be appreciate someone only when they are no longer around to accept our praise and respect? It doesnt make sense at all.
But thats life I suppose. Anything new is considered good, and anything which at one time meant something is not considered for anything. Out with the old, in with the new. If only they took time,and that little bit of effort to realize what others around the world have long ago realized, that contributions made by a man of Tun's calibre does not come around that often.
Tun Mahathir was, is and will be Malaysia's true heroic son.
A reminder, lest we forget.
Only to remember when his passing has come.
