There is this famous policy: “Resisting Foreign Aggression after Stabilising the Country” (攘外必先安内政策). The writer understands that the implementation of this policy was in a way criticised by a lot of people. However, the writer thinks that this is a very enlightening policy, provided the implementation is well carried out.
The writer will not go into the detail of the policy. The writer will gives his views on this policy generally.
First thing first, the writer thinks that it is correct to say that we need to stablise ourself (be it country, company, business, family, organisation etc) before we could “fight” against the others, who always trying to take advantage of us. If there is always non-stop internal fight among ourselves, how are we going to become strong and fight back against the others?
Recently, there is this internal “fight” within UMNO. Some parties are pushing for Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi to step down as UMNO President, as well as Prime Minister. Of course Abdullah Badawi is against this “proposal” and he intends to fight back.
UMNO is the leading party in BN. If UMNO keep having internal fight among themselves, how would other parties in BN feel? How would Rakyat see the internal fight? How would the foreigners who intend to invest in Malaysia initially think about Malaysia?
Crime rates are shooting up; inflation is growing; global economy is going weaker and weaker; our economy is slowing down; share market is not looking too good, etc etc etc…… If the Government (or even Opposition) could not find a solution to stop the “internal fight”, the Government would not have sufficient time to solve all the above mentioned problems. At the end of the day, Rakyat would be the one who suffer, which is a shame.
Why? Rakyat elected you to represent them and bring them a better life. At the end of the day, they get a suffering life. Is this not a shame?
Finally, the writer hopes that everyone [not limited to UMNO, MCA, Gerakan, MIC, BN (as a whole), PKR, DAP, PAS, PR (as a whole)] remember that we need to stablise ourselves before we could resist the foreign “attack”.
Resisting Foreign Aggression after Stablising the Country.
