A TRIBUTE TO DR. M: HE DID IT HIS WAY

“And now, the end is near, and so he faces the final curtain.” Dr. M, his Sinatra principle, his Brilliant ideas, his beautiful mind, dan perletakan jawatannya in less than a week.
Dr. M once said that die sendiri tak tau if die really like ‘My Way’, and Mr. Hasan Hamzah (in his The Wake Up Time) interpreted tu to convey the msg yg he is not done yet, banyak lagi mende for him to do.
But eventually, masanye tlh tibe. Dr. M akan srhkan jwtn die kpd his successor Pak Lah, dan saye adalah sgt sgt sedeh, dan sedikit bimbang. Bkn sbb krg percaya pd Pak Lah, tapi Dr. M is 2nd to none and incomparable. He is just not a PM per se, he is everything a Superhero could be.
Not that I’m obsessed with him or what, tp kalo piker kan, whether u luv him or u despise him, sume mesti can’t help but to agree with me yg he’s the SIFU, the greatest leader.

Mr. Hasan wrote dlm Chapter 4 (my fav chap): Would it be diff if Dr. M were to practice law? Sbb die originally nak jadi lawyer. (Eheh Sir, I’m pursuing ur dream. His daughterpon- happened to be my junior) Dr. M’s attitude dlm dealing with prob berasas dr med training- put aside fears, dan musti ade courage.
Camne ek? He is prima facie a scientist. Tp juge is a philosopher. A believer. Penulis. Pemikir. Akauntan. Politician (as Einstein put it: Politics is more difficult than Physics). Penggiat agama. Yada yada yada. U name it, he just is. But most importantly, he is sooo humane.. a loyal n dedicated hubby, a role model father, a loving tok wan, n a person with original character, wisdom, wit, intelligence etc. He’s all that lah.

Kalola Dr. M tau camne saye study, kemalasan saye, betapa saye suke buang mase, tak brp suke heavy discussions (except yg involve Dr. M @ BN) etc etc, Dr. M musti akan kecewa sbb even the person who loves n respects him so dearly pon (erm that’d be me) bole tak berubah2 lagi. I’m sowi :(
Then again, quoting Dr. M: “I’ll do what I can do.” Eheh. Dr. M, you are an inspiration. Missing your leadership olredi :(
