A real leader of people's hearts

A real leader of people's hearts

From Merdeka

A leader who feels he has been chosen by the people must be clean, honest and just. He must be an example to the people. He must be oriented toward the people's welfare. He should not make scapegoats of people or abuse their rights.

If a leader abuses people's trust and money for his own interests and that of his family and his cronies, the country is be headed for destruction. The public would be the victims.

Society should avoid electing leaders who have contracted the hypocrisy virus. These leaders always advise others to do good while they themselves commit evil deeds and lust for power. They are capable of exchanging goodness with evil if an evil deed brings them profit.

If the country is led by corrupt leaders, impostors who rule with an iron hand, it is only a matter of time before the emergence of a people's power. The latter is not concerned with the might of the state despite its magnitude. If conditions warrant it, people would willingly sacrifice themselves to fight for truth and their rights, perhaps at the expense of their lives. This clearly endangers the nation's unity. It may even lead to destruction.

Let's hope it does not happen.
