Mankind must learn to live together as brothers and sisters or perish together as fools - writes Haisong Lu

In our terrestrial globe, dishonesty seems to rule in every aspect of our society. Whether it is in our business world, sporting events or political arena, corruption is dominant as ever. There is a question left to concern: To whom do we turn for moral and ethical leadership?
