Is this how you want to be remembered?

I think it's bad taste to pass negative comments on those who had died. But I shall make an exception. I read in Augustine Paul's obituary today in the Star these words

"I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith" - 2 Tim. 4:7

Perhaps the following epitaph is more apt.

"I have perverted justice. I have sucked up to the Executive. I am finished."

I think I'm already kinder than most of the comments found in Malaysiakini. Even before he is judged by his Maker, the rakyat has already passed judgment. And there was no mercy. You can read his obituary written by the ordinary folks here.

Is it worth it, Yang Arif? I wish you can come back and tell your fellow judges especially those at the appellate courts.

I'll be making another exception when our 4th PM dies.

Update: Read this article just after I've posted. I think it's a fair one. The Relevance of Augustine Paul.
