Most Malaysians will go berserk or crazy if they read my letters below because they have difficulty putting two opposing ideas in their brains simultaneously. They might start using the infamous snake comparison and say "if you see a snake with one head and another with two heads, which one you will kill first". I believe what I put down here is neither sarcastic nor funny, but some might think so.

Mr. Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak,

I have observed that Anwar has blamed Beng Hock tragic death on MACC with the real intention to smear you politically. At this moment, I think the 64% favorable rating that you enjoyed just last week has plummeted to 40% or so, and might go further down. This certainly seems very unfair to you.

You see, MACC and PDRM have employed hundreds of thousand law enforcement officers. You are not a superman who can ensure every one of them is good and complying with the law. Anwar keeps you busy with every single problem pops up, and you are so busy with fire-fighting all the time that you have no time to prevent future problems.

I think they might hide from you an easy solution that can solve all you headache.

Mr. Anwar Ibrahim,

At Pakatan, we all are committed to democracy. Just like any healthy democracy, appointment of important positions such as heads of MACC/PDRM requires confirmation hearing in the assembly where both the current administration and opposition can question the candidate for his suitability for the job. If this type of confirmation hearing and the subsequence voting are executed, I am pretty sure we can vet out horrendous candidates such as Syed Hamid Akbar.

To my chagrin, you are not given any say to the appointment of key positions such as MACC/PDRM heads even though you are handed 82 MPs-strong mandates in the last election. You have almost 40% of seats in parliament and close to 50% of popular votes. I think Najib has intentionally humiliated you by ignoring what you have gain in the last election. He hopes by humiliating you, you will look weak and does not looks like a viable candidate for future prime minister. I think such humiliation is outrageous.
