Collection of parting words from outgoing CEOs. Adakah Malaysia tidak lagi sesuai untuk golongan teknokrat yang berprinsip dan berintegriti?: 1. Tan Sri Hassan Marican, Petronas: "We did it based on values and principles that are dear to us. It is my hope that you will continue to uphold those VALUES and PRINCIPLES. Lose it and we will lose all that we have built." 2. Tan Sri Shamsul Azhar Abbas, Petronas: “It’s so difficult to do an honest day’s job. You spend a lot of time away from your true function (of running Petronas).” “It’s not just people outside [who are making things difficult but] also people in the government — the bureaucrats. Bureaucratic interference makes things difficult." “I’m a Malay too, I’m proud to be one … you think I don’t want to help my own people? Of course I want to help them, but in the proper way -- not through handouts and spoon-feeding." “Everybody can see that we at Petronas are under immense pressure … We take pride in telling the whole world, telling the whole of Malaysia, that we are a Fortune 500 company, but do we behave like one?” “This is what the fighting is all about, trying to give ourselves some independence, so that at the end of the day, we are measured in terms of our performance, delivery and results, and not having anyone intervening and telling us what we have to do and that we have to give handouts to all.” “The government wants us to be like an international oil company, comparable with the Shells and ExxonMobils of the world, so we try to be one. But Shell and ExxonMobil are not harassed by their governments.” “In the Petroleum Development Act, it is very clear — oil and gas belong to all Malaysians. It doesn’t say oil and gas belong to the bumiputeras, it doesn’t say that … it says all Malaysians, so they can be in the government, they can be in the opposition, they can be wherever … and we are the custodians.” “It is amanah … diamanahkan … the word amanahkan is very strong — as a Muslim, it would be a huge sin if I abused ‘amanah’. “We are dealing with politicians; they say one thing but do another, so it’s difficult… it is frustrating.” 3. Tan Sri Wan Zulkiflee, Petronas: "Often, in the position of trust, you will face conflict choices and difficult decisions. "Sometimes standing by your principles may prove unrewarding and downright unpopular. It is a lonely path that true leaders must tread. "At the end of it, doing the right thing allows you to have the peace of mind, clarity of conscience of having discharged your amanah - your responsibility with honesty and honour." 4. Jalil Rasheed, PNB: "I will never waver in my principles in performing my duties. Oftentimes making the right decisions is riddled with difficulties and some will be unpopular. There was a line I would not cross." "Please always stay the course, never waver in integrity and principles. Always remember the Amanah that has been entrusted upon you by the 14m unitholders who rely on you to deliver returns from their hard earned money. Ultimately we are only answerable to One." "Principles and integrity are two things nobody can take from you. Only you decide if you want to let it go. I go out proud knowing that this was never compromised."

Sayyidina Mu'az r.a meriwayatkan bahawa Nabi s.a.w. bersabda, "Akhir zaman nanti akan ada golongan yang bersaudara secara zahir bermusuhan secara batin." Ada orang bertanya, "Bagaimana keadaan itu boleh terjadi ?" Baginda s.a.w bersabda, "Kerana kepentingan diri masing-masing mereka bersaudara secara zahir dan kerana keadaan saling takut antara mereka maka mereka saling bermusuhan secara batin." (Musnad Ahmad)
