Raja Aziz Addruse: One of a kind

There is, to my mind, an inherent danger in the Executive being too sensitive to criticism. As you know, the essence of democracy, as it is practised in this country, is the right to dissent within proper limits; and it would be a very sad day for this country if the police were to regard every person voicing his criticism of Government policies or actions within those limits, as a potential criminal or enemy of the state. . . . the Bar Council, in the expression of its views and opinion of Government policies and actions, has been motivated solely by a desire to seek justice and to uphold the rule of law. The Council is not interested in politics or ideologies.

Malaysia never short of inspiring person actually. Just that not many people have given them enough credit and coverage - whether intentionally or unintentional.
