    A good advice to leaders and also to the people who have to choose. Hopefully, Malaysians learn to pick the right ones. Thanks Dr Syed

    Leadership is to lead by example :Bad leadership is setting bad examples for others to follow . A good leader knows where to draw the line and weighs heavily on every decisions he makes and knows the consequences and being accountable for his actions .

    I will add that Leadership is when a person knows what to do during a crisis and shows the way out of it.

    I always thought that when one faces suffering without judging oneself or others for their desire to be released from it, the desire for happiness and the aversion of pain one is able to be courageous and gain free will over right and wrong. I feel that this frees a person to do something to do something for the people without expecting anything in return, which is the mark of a true leader.

    Well said Sir. Though I am constantly baffled at the choices the voters make. Knowing about all the corruption and kleptocracy around a certain party in particular, they continue to vote for them. What gives.

      DAP is no different from BN. I saw a lot of similarities, corruption, racial politics & hypocrisy during their short spell. How can you not see it? What gives.
      Nowadays after rooting for reform for 20 years I don't bother to trust PKR & DAP anymore.

      Then maybe try the newer parties Muda, Bangsa Msia Etc. Time for a change.. at least DAP have not had as big a scandal that is publicise worldwide .. by voting for a party that is renown worldwide for its corrupt leaders reflects badly on the voters too ..

      @@keonglim4826 "at least" is an epitome of a bad argument. Corrupt is corrupt tho idek myself who to vote on the upcoming election but point still stand. The thing to blame is the system. It require the players to be narrated (until proven guilty) as corrupted just to survive in the politic realm and the players surely just do what they gotta do. Highly doubt there are clean so called leaders nowadays.

      @EA “At least” means it’s all relative. Like you clearly said, you highly doubt there are so called clean leaders nowadays. (Although I agree in the majority, there are, a smattering of leaders with integrity). Vote for the leaders which is ‘least corrupt’ because one needs to use their vote wisely to lead the country. You would definitely not vote for someone you know is ‘dirty’ right? (And there lies my whole point). I agree the system is to blame but this is not utopia, and there are no perfect system. Each has it’s strength and weaknesses.

    Leadership is defiined academically as
    1. Authoritarian leadership
    2. Transactional leadership
    3. Transformational leadership.
    Our executive today is an example of Authoritarian leadership. The PM and Interior Ministry as example expecting all other branches of governance to obey to their whishes and wants. The fastest to show changes resulting from a new leadership. Often the easiest to mask poor leadership skills.
    2. Our enforcement agencies and regulatory authorities are led by transactional leaders. Decissions based on what is in it for me/my team or best of my interest first and foremost and their sworn duties and reaponsibilities free of fear or favours.
    3. Based heavily on conscensus building and closest to to involving the willing participation of a majority where it involves a shift in how an entire entity or organisations views and work culture.
    The slowest to show results or even signs of change but the most long lasting. Often mistaken for weak leadership but requires a high calibre leader to pull off.

    apabila rakyat sendiri melantik pemimpin yang rendah moral dan juga yang tidak bermoral untuk memegang jawatan dalam kerajaan..
    maka mereka ini sendiri terpedaya oleh penipuan mereka sendiri tentang perbuatan betul atau salah mereka
    our low moral leaders are themselves fooled by their own interpretation of rights and wrongs

    • @rzlb5

    I full agree with you Mr. Syed but in Malaysia it has all been misunderstood like i recently watch a vloger from Manchester a Malay fugitive Raja Petra residing there as he was born in Wales lucky for him. The thing that was very upsetting with him was instead of being a racial peace maker he to what i understood he claim that its the rights of the Malays as he claims the British gave them the rights do be the rulers of Malaysia then many generation after the Merdeka okay I do understand that too as the British wanted to wash their hands of the immigrants who were taken there like the Indians and Chinese to perform the labour work in estates and mining these people generation also deserve respect and i do agree they are hard working people but are always insulted for being there they are not imposing themselves but rightful citizens. Then why are the Malays such bad leaders especially the elite leaders 99% are kleptocrats is this also part of their ethical rights to steal? AM sorry for asking you this been watch your fair intelligent input being a Muslim why is it so difficult to bridge peace for the sake of the nation firstly not enriching themselves with greed?? Thank you!

    a leader is a khalifah who does justice in the best interests of others and greater good.
    an anti leader is a person in the position of leadership abuses his power for his own greed and selfish objectives
    i have always had problems when someone inserts a negative adjective before the word leader. It just doesnt sound/seem right. A bad leader, a corrupt leader just doesnt fit in the concept of leadership.

    "God gives him the choice to choose to do what is right or wrong...." as said by Syed.
    Beg your pardon sir, your saying is flawed. Because there is no God.... God is a just an abstract concept of a man-invented belief system.
    (It's an outdated idea to the current more educated generations worldwide as opposed to olden generations who are illiterate peasants!)
    It should be - it's One's (inner) Nature to decide to choose to do what is right or wrong - which is many educated people think in this manner nowadays!

      @@bryanlee7295 Don’t as5 wipe him too clean of his false political narrative trying too hard to relate his speech to the reality of things we are living here. We are not his student. We have experience living in the country on both ends of the political divide.
      What he said as a Legend Intellectual individual is a shame as he fail to relate the reality of things to be a leader in the 21st century. and also fail to relate the reality of thing of how democracy works in the country.
      The Rakyat are too well-known for a false political narrative like this. This type of propa is the reason the Rakyat are not favoring the opposition anymore. These people can talk. Can stir shit up. But hide when the real question is being asked to them.
      So again Syed. who is this so-called leader in the country that you wish him to lead? remember to choose what we have. not an anime character dreamer.
