on many fronts. The closest English saying equivalent to this universal law as preached in Buddhim is "What Goes Around Comes Around", and also the proverb, in my rendition -- You reap what you sow.
What fronts is Desi talking about. Okay, the most current, UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL, is the two-weeks-plus standoff involving 250 intruders onto Sabah soil -- these invaders calim they were of Sulu Sultanate descent, and history has arrogated them as owners of Sabah. This has been a bone of contention between the newly fromed Malaysia comprising Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak and Sabah in 1963. I believe if these intruders said they were not prepared to surrender -- as stated by the Sultan and daghter back in theSulu sultanate a few days ago -- the invaders headed by one of the sultan's brothers would then be waiting out the time till the Malaysian police, army, navy and airforce forces are forced to "act militarily" -- I believe TIME IS RUNNING OUT and the coming wickedend might see a play out of High Noon in the modern context. Necessarily there will be DEAD BODIES if it came to a shootout.
So why is the Law of Karma relevant here?
Well, it is a well-known factr that the Malaysia state of Sabah had seen many Filipino immigrants coming over into Sabah illegally, BUT THE BIG GUNS AT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TURNED EITHER ONE EYE OR A CLOSED EYE on the intrusion for the past few decades (you do read the revelations of the current RCI on Sabah Illegals, I hope...). Also, these illegals finally were gifted identity cards (then VOTING RIGHTS) by the powers-that-be, and many of these arrivals became conduits to channelling arms and other "supplies" to Islamic insurgents in the Philippines I am just paraphrasing news reports sighted in the Internet -- you just Google "Lahat Datu and Sulu and intruders and standoff..." and you would get a generous helping of current and historical updates updates. standoff.
The Malaysian powers-that-be are now getting a taste dealing with the very same type of "intruders" whom they had pampered with special velvet glove treatment when it served their short-term blinkered interests -- political mainly -- and now the backlash happens, and Wow, Desi is waiting with bated breath and whispering to my Pasar politikuses: What do you expect to get when you rear snakes in thy compound? The chickens and ducks will disappear of course for starters. Then you get snake bites. I just pray it';s the bast....ly leaders who get the lethal dosages. "May God protect the innocent ones. Amen", YL whispers at midnight, YL, the newshound by bloodline, a poet-dreamer by knight.
PS: You wanna Desi to cite other Karmic goings-on here? Hey, one instance is enough for now!
