The foot-stamping began after Najib was convicted on all 1MDB charges last week. — Bloomberg
WHEN I was little, what would often attract my parents’ ire was when I did a little foot-stamping whenever I didn’t get what I wanted. Of course, I felt that it was unfair but, in our home, there were rules and one that was strictly enforced was any show of defiance of the rules. I grew up to respect rules unless they were patently ridiculous, like refusing to take someone’s police report just because you don’t approve of their clothing.
It’s amazing that some people don’t grow out of this foot-stamping behaviour when things don’t go their way. We saw this week when the court made it clear that our Constitution is supreme and it can’t be bent just because that’s what some people want.
