This is a hot issue being discussed recently. Benazir Bhutto, the former president of Pakistan who was killed in an assassination. Benazir had self-imposed exile since Pervez Musharraf amend the Pakistan’s Constitution on not allowing prime minister to serve more than 2 terms. In 2007, Bhutto was once again allowed to return from exile. During a rally against in Karachi in October, she narrowly escaped an assassin's bomb. Yet, despite of the risk of danger she might encounter after returning to Pakistan, she remained calm and unbowed in her criticism towards Musharraf Regime.

The issue arises when she came back to Pakistan to prepare running for the national election in 2008. In demanding for a fair, un-bias and transparent election, she had put herself into a great danger. A militant nation which filled with corruption especially in government administration would not allow this to change. Election which is a channel of democracy practice had turned into a terrorism stimulator when there is a great disagreement. Terrorism had become the last resolution to terminate her dissatisfaction against the current administration.

From the scarification of this great lady, I notice that a great leader always comes with enemies. No leader will lead without people who run against them and this is truth. What makes a different is that, how the leader really faces the enemies and counters them in bold courage. I respect her spirit of fighting. Putting herself in this stake and risky position would really need a huge determination. Despite her own history of scandal in money laundering and corruption (Switzerland case), I could actually see her determination in making a change in Pakistan current situation. Who would ever risk herself in death in exchange other material?

Perhaps, it will serves as a good inspiration and aspiration for citizen in Pakistan. Not looking into the conspiracy theories which fill the air of Pakistan at the moment, we shall learn from this incident. Truth shall prevail through fair and justice democracy. Terror would not solve thing up and it will still continue in Pakistan as long as there is no concrete action from the administrating leader. I always believe that, when a leader or warrior is fallen, there will always be few more which step ahead to continue the noble mission. Who will rise after the assassination of Benazir? Her own son perhaps….

Bilawal Bhutto, 19 years old son of Benazir will likely to become her successor. “My children have told me they are very worried about my safety," she said. "I understand those fears. But they are Bhuttos and we have to face the future with courage, whatever it brings.” I guess her teaching towards her son on facing future with courage would definitely help in grooming him to become next great leader.

While Pakistan still falls in the situation of uncertainties, we shall look back to our country’s democracy. We should feel lucky that we haven’t come to a day where terror is the way of solving thing. We are just having some peace demonstration here. Shouldn’t we review back our constitution on election before it is too late? Actions need to be taken while people still have their faith and trust towards democracy policies. When the day people feel hopeless, Malaysia will definitely turned into a second Pakistan or even worse. Extend the retirement age of chief election commission to 66? What is this?

Review the necessary terms to make to more independence and creditable. Even we as accountant knows that if an auditor attached to a same client for years, it would cause threat. It’s always not advisable to have the neutral parties (if it is really neutral) to govern over a framework or mechanism for a long period. Don’t bullshit with me that it needs experience. Then what is the use of all the constitution? (if it doesn’t serve as guideline)

End of today’s crap. Continue study….
