Memimpin Melalui Teladan

Leadership By Example or "Memimpin Melalui Teladan" was long taught since our younger years in primary school.

Our leaders have always managed to show extraordinary examples on how to become a "leader", a "politician", a successful "businessman" and most important of all, what "say one thing, but do another thing means".

It is more often than not that whenever you drive in the highway, you will see that the speed limit is 110km/j (110 kilometers per hour). However, you can always see the police escorting the politicians and diplomats driving more than 110km per hour. Not something unusual. When we are speeding, we are summoned, but when they did, the have police to escort.

But why do they speed in the first place if not because they failed to manage their time properly (ie late in their next function), abuse of power (any other reason for not following the speed limit passed by the parliament in which they are a member themselves?) and because this is the norms.

Something need to be done, if they intend to lead, they should set their own example by abiding to the laws. Otherwise, they should face the consequences and pay the summons like all the rest of us. But I don't remember any of them going to pay the summons themselves although they themselves (or their drivers) were caught speeding.
