Very difficult exercise.
I am trying to think hard if there is anyone who is inspiring and near flawless.
Most likely, it is a simple person, anonymous, who is kind hearted.
She maybe just a "kampong machik" or a "new village ah chim" who just want to raise a big and happy family; He maybe one who tend to the surao and educate the kampong kids or he maybe a shopkeeper who gave a small donation to the impoverished school so that the school kids have the chair or the school has a zink roof.
He maybe one who joined the MPAJA but was never recognised as a hero for fighting the Japanese. Instead he was subsequently gunned down during the emergency being member of the insurgency.
She maybe one who fought for a just society but detained without trial under the ISA.
History is written by the victors. Memory of the others is fading fast and forgotten. Since these name are forgotten, my nominee for the Great Malaysian go to the anonymous.

No one is flawless, but each and everyone has the capacity to inspire and make a positive contribution to humanity. I think whenever we come across such examples we should recognise them in this blog.
