Wishes of a dying Priest?

In Kuala Lumpur an old priest lay dying in the hospital.

For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation's capital.

He motioned for his nurse to come near.

"Yes, Father?" said the nurse.

"I would really like to see Najib and the Muyhiddin before I die", whispered the priest.

"I'll see what I can do, Father", replied the nurse.

the nurse sent the request to Putrajaya and waited for a response.

Soon the word arrived; Prime Minister Najib and his Deputy PM Muyhiddin would be delighted to visit the priest.

As they went to the hospital, Najib commented to Muyhiddin ,
"I don't know why the old priest wants to see us,
but it will certainly help our images and might even get me all the Christian votes. After all, I'm 'IN IT TO WIN IT".

Muyhiddin agreed that it was a good thing.

When they arrived at the priest's room,
the priest took Najib's hand in his right hand and Muyhiddin's hand in his left.

There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face.

Finally Najib spoke..
"Reverend, of all the people you could have chosen,
why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?"

The old priest slowly replied,
"I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."

The old priest continued,
"Jesus died between two lying thieves;
I would like to do the same."
