Leaders must be Whiter than White

What standards of conduct do we expect of our leaders?
What rights do we have over them?
And what are their obligations to us?
If anything, events of the past week, where Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek was publicly exposed as having an extra-marital affair, admitted it, apologised and then resigned, have highlighted the fact that modern Malaysian society expects its leaders to have high moral values and be accountable.

Majority of m'sians are not expecting leaders here to be whiter, just be honest and responsible to his family and children, stop screwing around with all his "personal friend" and chinese "ayam" especially if you are non-muslim minister, you have no privilege to "screw" around.

that is what you have demanded from your leader but if ever one day you become a leader then you should distant yourself from that demand ,if possible have double standard ,triple standard but you are exempted i remember once a leader say "do as what i told you to do but don't do what i do "
