Here is something to ponder over especially for my Hindu
friends including Sai Baba Devotees.
In the Bhagavad Gita Krishna tells Arjuna that he should go
into battle and fight.
Arjuna then tells Krishna that he cannot fight, because he
sees opposite him his grand uncle Bhishma and cousins and other relatives.
Krishna convinces Arjuna that this war was not about him, it was about a concept, an
idea of Dharma.
First of all Krishna tried
his best to avoid the war. He pleaded with the Kauravas to come to some
agreement. But they didn’t listen to him. This compelled Krishna to ask Arjuna
to fight.
Lions
Club: My encounter with the Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu and with Lions Club
International is only based on Dharma. I believe it is sinful to steal monies
from the needy.
I too pleaded on numerous occasions with
members of the Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu. I was even willing to apologise,
even though I felt I had not made any mistake, and pleaded for members to move
on and forget the past. (Read details in my book ‘Wolves among Lions’available
on Amazon and on www.luqmanmichel.com.)
I
met with Dr. Muthusamy, telephoned Visvalingam and I met with Dr.Arabi Wazani
to settle this matter amicably. I attended meetings held to resolve this matter
but it was Thomas Ho (president) who was adamant about not willing to let go.
Krishna emphasised on two terms : Karma and Dharma. He
told Arjuna that this was a righteous war; a war of Dharma. Dharma is the way
of righteousness or a set of rules and laws laid down. The Kauravas were on the
side of Adharma and had broken rules and laws and hence Arjuna would have to do
his Karma to uphold Dharma.
Lions Club: The Lions Club had
broken many rules and regulations set by Lions Club International and were
unethical in their conduct. They also broke many of the rules and regulations
set by Registry of Societies, Malaysia.
They had operated secret bank
accounts and falsified minutes of meetings.
Arjuna tells Krishna that he does not wish to kill them
who are about to kill him and his men. He asks Krishna as to how he can be
happy after killing his kinsmen.
Lions Club: Similarly how can I
be happy in writing about my own Lion Club and going against friends I have
known for more than 35 years like Dr. Muthusamy and Jim Rajaratnam. But I went
ahead and reported the matter to Registrar of Societies because I believe that
I have been put in this position and given a duty that I must fulfill.
Dr.Muthusamy has told our Lion
friends that he is an international figure and highly respected and I should
not write matters about him on my blog. By the same token I am also an
international figure respected by hundreds of people around the world. I have 3
blogs where members and others visit on a daily basis. Should I not clear my
name?
Most of the members of Lions Club
of Kota Kinabalu Host live a lie and think that donations given by the public
is theirs to use as they please. They do not realize that even the house they
live in is a loan from Mother Nature.
