Imbalanced Scale

What is the meaning of justice? This is what my CTU lecturer, Dr Kamarulzaman Sulaiman, told us this morning.

'Justice is simple. It's like, when you have two kids, one is a boy and the other is a girl. What is justice? You bought the boy a songkok and the girl a scarf. Even though today's scarf is worth RM 200, and a songkok at it's highest peak only at RM 100, you can't simply give both of them a scarf each, or a songkok each. If the latter is done, it's not justice, it's stupid.'

I leave that to you for further thinking session. You know who I am, so you know to which topic am I actually referring to. But this example actually applies to any other situation.
