先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐

For my readers who understand this...

How many of the candidate put up for voting in GE2011 are wired this way?

I would say, very very few.

Not asking for a monk to be our leader, but still expecting some kind of priority of country and its people, over self. Putting up million-dollar minister salaries for grabs attracts people with the wrong kind of motivation.

We need, I repeat, we NEED leaders who are prudent and believe that 'Prevention is better than cure', because our lives are directly affected by their decisions. Some of these decisions cannot be easily undone. Some take decades to revert.

Not leaders who are 'fire and forget' alphas.
