What We Can All Learn From The Past Few Weeks

Age is just a number. You’re as young or as old as you feel.
We can all serve our country no matter how old or young we are.
Never use age as an excuse not to do something.
Sometimes you need an old workhorse to fight along with you.
Don’t dismiss senior citizens as have-beens.
Sometimes your own worst enemy may turn out to be your closest friend – over time.
It takes a special person with a lot of courage not only to forgive another who has wronged him but also to urge others to vote for this other person.
Never underestimate the power of the people and the voice of those oppressed.
You may be in power and in command one day and be easily and quickly stripped of it, humiliated and shunned the very next day.
Play fair and fight fair. All is fair in love and war, right? You may have the engine at your disposal and other forms of help (shamans, witch doctors) but if Allah wills otherwise, you will still lose.
Your family name will not necessarily save you.
Be matured instead of stooping to despicable behaviour. The person whose face you had cut out from posters may come back to haunt you.
An established decades-old institution can still be toppled. No matter how strong and powerful one is, one can become irrelevant.

I’m not a big fan or supporter of Tun; I have always had this distrust in him since I was at boarding school. But if Anwar can forgive him, well, I can be open-minded too. Alhamdulillah, my prayers have been answered. As for you, Tony, you’re just an apologist opportunist capitalist who hedged wrongly and now have to come out with a video to cover your ass. You said you were under pressure? Well, the way I see it, a lot of people were also under pressure be they businessmen or the common people were under pressure too way before the General Elections but they didn’t go as far as compromising their principles. How could he think what he and AA was being neutral? Give me a break already!
