Murder Incorporated

There has been a disturbing trend of late. People murdered ruthlessly by what appears to be contract killers. The latest case is that of former Selangor state assemblyman Datuk Abdul Aziz Mohd Noh and his female aide, Siti Rohana Ismat, both gunned down bullet-in-the-head style and their bodies found in Siti Rohana's car along the North-South Highway near Sungei Buloh, Selangor. Although police have not officially ruled out suicide, it would be strange for a man who is scheduled to attend a function and who was on his way to that function, to suddenly take his own life and that of his aide. This is but one among many cases of late and it seems to be increasing in frequency and blatantness.

One of God's 10 commandments is simply this: "Thou shalt not kill". To those who kill or worse, those who give the order to kill, i have this to say to you: You may get away with murder in this life, but you will certainly be made to account for your actions in the hereafter. What will you say when you stand before God and He asks why you have killed one of his children? All of us will perish someday. As you lie on your deathbed, as life ebbs away from you, you will be very very very frightened of what is to come. And it is JUST that you are stricken with terror at your deathbed just as you caused so much pain and anguish to the survivors of your victims who were a father, a mother, a husband, a brother, a sister and a wife to their loved ones. What will you say then, as you are about to meet your Maker? Nothing. And by ordering the death of or by killing another human being, you have condemned yourself to death. Why resolve problems this way? Is there not a better solution? Surely there must be one. Nothing warrants the taking of another life, however deserving of death that person may seem. The final terror is not that of your victim, but yours alone. And that is a terror that no man is able to bear.
