Blog, Tweet and Facebook   28/11/2018    A good system & People

        Good leaders are prone to fall victims in a bad system and our history has proved so.  A good system can restraint, will and discipline bad leaders to  abide by the rule of laws. 

        In the age when the majority of people were ignorant and low in literacy, a very strong and dominating good leader like Lee Kuan Yew was a must to lead people and put the country on the track of democracy.  In the age like now when the majority of people are knowledgeable and high in literacy, a good system on the track of democracy is more important to provide the conducive environment for economic and capital development. 

        A good system can nurture good leaders whereas a bad system can make good leaders fall victims to bad practices like corruption, collusion and other vices that you can name of.  We have enough examples to prove so.

        We all are ordinary and so we need laws to restraint and discipline us.  Finland is a good example of how a good system works and the consensus people reach for the good and well-being for everybody for us to refer to.  It is a government based on CAT – Credibility, Accountability and Transparency.  It is the true practice of democracy -- the government  by the people, for the people and of the people. 

        Finland has a good democratic system which involves people from every level to participate in the affair of the country.  They have the sunshine laws to the public.  When everything is open to the scrutiny of the people, which leader dares to act secretive to plunder, exploit and rob at will?  When every citizen is directly or indirectly involved in politics, is it easy for anyone to go astray in the process?  Hence, I say that a good system is better than having a very strong and dominating leader like Lee Kuan Yew who was a must in the age of ignorance and illiteracy.

        In the age of knowledge and literacy, a good system is more important than having a very good, strong and dominating leader like Lee Kuan Yew who was important in the age of ignorance and illiteracy.   Compared with the leaders like the late-Marcos Ferdinad of the Philippines, late-Suharto of Indonesia, Mahathir of Malaysia (1963 up to now) (well-marked with cronies in corruption and collusion)…. a very good, strong and dominating leader like Lee was a must.  But he was just the few of the few, the unique one. 

        No matter how good the system is, it is useless without the involvement of the public in the process.   The public must take the interest and welfare of the country seriously.  When everyone is concerned about the development of the country and takes the affair of the country to their hearts,  what affair are not people-centric, minded and oriented? 

        Hence, a good system plus people plus good leaders can bring a country to a new height.
