How shall I write a piece on Chee Soon
Juan without being seen as biased, partial or stereotyping or
unthinking? If I say he is good, some quarters would be frowning. If I say he is
NG, would I be doing justice to this man?
Everyone has an impression on Chee Soon Juan, mostly
negative. The reason, they read the media and listen to the official news. Has
there been anything written or spoken on Chee Soon Juan that is
good or fair comment on this man? People who made a judgement on a person like
Chee based on what they read about him in the media must seriously do some
thinking and ask themselves what really happened and was he that bad a guy? And
there are many questions to be asked as to why he has such a bad public image
for so long, as an aspiring politician. He is so brash, he is so disrespectful,
he is…. but that was 20 years ago.
Look across the causeway and look at Anwar Ibrahim. This one was imprisoned,
tarred with feathered, charged for sodomy and all the hideous things that his
political opponents could think of to fix him. The big difference, though some
of the charges were really very serious, is that the Malaysian public are more
sophisticated than the daft Sinkies. They do not believe everything that is
published in the media and definitely would not believe the bad things the
politicians said about Anwar. They are thinking and will challenge the official
truth. They believe that those who cast stones at Anwar were many times worse
than Anwar. Do the Sinkies bother to think and challenge the official truth on
what Chee Soon Juan is all about?
Historically, many politicians found themselves on the wrong side of the
political equation and were condemned or imprisoned for political crimes or for
being politically incorrect. We have many that were detained for half of their
lives without trial. Were they really bad people or simply politicians of the
wrong camp? And there were many infamous personalities that have to seek the
safety of foreign shores, never to return home.
On the international scene, there are great names like
Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi and Deng
Xiaoping. All were once on the wrong side of the political divide. They
came back, rehabilitated, and rose to become very good leaders in their
countries. If the opportunities were not given to these politicians, they would
have ended in the dark corners of history, might even die in prison, for
political crimes or just being on the wrong side.
Are Sinkies wise enough, mature enough, to do their own thinking, to make
their own judgement on what is a good man or a bad person? Chee Soon
Juan is definitely not an immortal, but an ordinary man. He would have
all the flaws like you and me. Only immortals are flawless, mind you. All men
have flaws, only discovered or exposed or the time is not ripe yet. Do not take
anyone at face value. Do not make a judgement on another man by what others make
out of him. Do your own thinking, and it is very easy. Scrutinise the facts, the
intents and the truths imposed on your thinking. Be a bit cynical and critical
and be a bit smart for your own good.
Is Chee Soon Juan what he is made out to be? Would he make a
good politician to serve the people, speak up and stand up for the people? A
good politician is one that serves your interest, not his own interest, not one
that ignores your interest. A good politician is one that listens to you, not to
himself.
Is it time for Chee? Is there room in Parliament for
Chee?
