Dear all,

Dear PM Tun Dr. Mahathir,

Please allowed and excuse me for speaking my mind on important of “Fairness”.

When someone shouts, “That’s not fair!” we are quick to respond with, “Too bad! Life isn’t fair.” And that’s the message, isn’t it? Don’t expect life to be fair. You’ve got to take what you can get, and if it’s unjust to another, so be it. But is this desirable? Just asks anyone growing up in a family where the head of the household play favoritism toward his wives and children, a sure recipe for discord, hostility and resentment among family members that lead to a broken family.

Capuchin monkeys have a strong sense of fairness and are of the philosophy that equal work demands equal pay. Capuchins compare what they are getting relative to what another is getting for the same amount of effort, and they refuse to participate if they think something is unfair. Not only that, but if they see another individual get more for the same amount of effort, or worse, get more for less effort, capuchins will flat out refuse to do the task in subsequent rounds of testing. They also don’t work together again with someone who was unfair. The key here is fairness.

So are we lesser being that Capuchin monkey in sense of fairness? We hate it when our boss in workplace plays favoritism then why we can accept unfairness when our country leaders play favoritism? The paradox is that we are capable of detecting inequality instantly and are extremely sensitive to fairness.

Fairness means dealing with others in a consistent, impartial, objective manner. Leaders who have a strong sense of fairness in their dealings with people tend to bring out the best in terms of initiative, innovation, and productivity. ... Good leaders are open and honest about the reasons behind their decisions.

Fairness is important. It takes place in all our lives. If we did not have fairness our lives would be miserable. Fairness is when everyone is treated equally and no one is left out or left behind. People that are fair follow the rules. They are honest and trustworthy. They follow Eleanor Roosevelt’s quote “It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself.” Fairness is very important in a community. Everyone needs to follow the rules, be respectful of one another and work together to build a strong and beautiful community. They can do this by getting together in a friendly way to solve problems and make rules that are fair to everyone.

Fairness includes learning to treat other with respect, compassion and kindness and growing to appreciate the important of sharing, stand up for each other,  stand up for what’s right, and being honest. This required you to place yourself in other’s shoes and feel what it feel to be treated the way he/she been treated. Fairness required us to see things from different perspective and aroused our desire to act towards the greater good of those around us and contribute to a society that is better to live in.

So be fair minded my fellow Malaysian and  beware, if politicians portrayed themselves as the only savior of your race and religion, they have no intention to uplift or improve your life but are merely trying to fish for your vote so that they can rob you again and again. MALU APA BOSSKU!

Thank you

Yours truly,

SS LEE
