Tan Sri Leo Moggie - Still the Hero





Leo as we all know him does not need to be Tan Sri-ed or YB-ed.

As my senior in school he was always well ahead of the rest mentally and socially. In life perhaps he was one of the earliest Iban (Dayak) scholars who made it in life and became a political figure for many years until it was time for him to "retire".

One thing I will always remember him for - whatever he did in school he would try his best to do well.

So in an evening of joint celebration of Dayak Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Kadazan Chamber of Commerce and Industry Leo stole the evening with his majestic performace of ngajat.

With superb showmanship he danced with his eyes closed and moved across the stage.

Sawan,

I asked him recently, to come back to politic and lead the Dayaks again.

He replied: I'm past all that now. I'm too old and I'm retired.

I felt sad but respected his decision and wondered when can a real Iban leader emerge to lead the Ibans out of the gloom.

Dear Bob
Sad is the word to describe our situation.
Gloom is the picture.
Iban leaders? Hard to say.
There are many forms of leadership today and may be it is still too chaotic for any one to emerge/evolve.
It is hard for me to say too.
Sad - you are right.
thanks.

He is not too old, he is too fat and rich and he has no interest in helping other anymore. Don't be sad because he is not the only Iban who has balls. We don't have to twist and shout in order to win this political and economic game. We can always win silently if you know what I mean.

He cannot be a hero because a hero will never give up.
