PMX...the PM he can be and the PM he is now.

This will not be an easy write.

When you are 6000 km away from home when your heart, mind, and soul want to go home before your time to be able to go home with your health, your dignity, and your self-respect still intact is almost drawing to an end......it is not easy to write when what you write may make a difference whether you can or cannot come back the same way you left Malaysia - as a warganegara.

But write I will because in all the time that I have been writing, what drives me to write is the belief, that in the end, in the last conscious moments of my life, I will have to answer my own question: Did I do the right thing?

For me today...the right thing to do is to tell DSAI, our PMX, the Prime Minister he can be and the Prime Minister that he is now.

We are now at the cusp of possibly the most significant age of our existence as a sovereign nation. No other perdana menteri has come close to what PMX has courageously said he will do in the name of government, for Malaysia and Malaysians. The only thing in my living memory that comes close to what I experienced when seeing Anwar's car approaching the gates of Istana Negara on the day that he was to be appointed PM by a wise and courageous King was when I watched Mandela walk his way to freedom.

And now it is past 100 days that DSAI has been PMX. He is past the days when the people's expectations and adulation for him as PMX will allow them to accept anything that they think is not what he had promised them he will do as PMX. They are now holding DSAI accountable for everything that is done under his Madani Government which was once the Reformasi Government....and Datuk Seri, we have questions we want to ask you.

Why are politicians still being appointed to head GLC. Why is it now a MADANI Government - what happened to Reformasi? Is Zero tolerance still the benchmark ...the only benchmark, your government accepts? Why is the opposition being harassed, arrested, and put on trial? Yes, we know for corruption, money laundering, and abuse of high public office, but to many of us, it sounds erringly similar to the time when BN was in government and you, Datuk Seri, were in the opposition. And you Datuk Seri was being harassed, charged, and jailed for political expedience by Barisan Nasional.

And we all will never forget the black eye you suffered, the years you spend in jail for trumped-up charges (so you claim), and the many many injustices perpetrated by the powers that be upon Malaysians who were only protesting their opposition to the corruption and abuse of political office for personal gain by BN leaders.

And now all that happened during those dark years seems to be rearing its ugly head again as leaders of the opposition and their machais and supporters are also arrested ...for good reasons according to the authorities!

No Sir, I do not question the veracity of these arrests nor the guilt of those parties arrested...all that I am saying is simply this ...there must be a better way to do things under this Madanai government. And you Sir as its leader must show us the way.

Be the leader we want you to be Datuk Seri and not what we are beginning to think, the prime minister you have become. Intolerant, unforgiving, and vengeful to those who have done you harm in the past. Let us move forward to the Madani government that you speak of...not in words, but by deeds.

Be the prime minister you can be Datuk Seri....anything less will make Malaysian wonder if high public office will change the Anwar that we have known all these years...the Anwar of Refomasi days, the Anwar whose courage, commitment, and focus under fire and duress, has never wavered from doing what is best for Malaysia and Malaysians...and the Anwar we know you can be in the times that we are now living in.

Sir...be the prime minister you can be!
