ZAKI TO MUSA

Chief Justice of Malaysia, Tan Sri Datuk Seri Zaki, like his other judge-associates live a very cloistered and near-monastic life. They, by the nature of their jobs, cannot consort with any Ahmad, Ah Chong and Samy....more so if Ahmad, Ah Chong and Samy are tycoons.

Tonight Tan Sri was informed that a group of people met for a candlelight vigil in front of the Brickfields Police Station for remanded Wong Chin Huat. The OCPD in charge saw the small gathering and took action: " Saya OCPD Brickfields, I want you to disperse on the count of 3....1,2,3, tangkap semua....lelaki, perempuan.....semua tangkap,"

One chinaman Cop at Dataran Merdeka, sometime ago gave candlelight vigilers to disperse to the count of 15, another at MBPJ gave them three minutes. Now it is to the count of 3. The slogan " 1 Malaysia, People first and Performance now" is really reaping its harvest especially from these little tin-can cops.

Tan Sri, I am told at the RSC Oval this evening, is hopping mad and he intends to write this missive to Musa, the Police Inspector General.

Hey, Mus, your people are getting out of hand. Those people are gathering in sympathy for Wong. They are not armed with parangs....only candles. I know your people are afraid of the Chow Kit area because the bad people have parangs, swords and home-made pistols. But these people are unarmed. Your OCPD is stupid....how can people disperse at the count of three. Your are arresting people for no good reason. You are wasting the time of my judges. They have bigger cases to sit on and what type of judgments do you think my colleagues can mete out to people who are armed with candles? I don't remember Tsu Khoon announcing the number of arrests as part of KPI. Your peoples job is to arrest snatch-thieves, mat rempits, and lock-up slaughterers. You job is to look for missing people (how many now, and how many found?).

Tonight I heard you say on TV that it is difficult to monitor snatch thieves. You say we come here they go there. Then you should have your people over here and over there. Many times I pass your various office complex and I just wonder why so many squad cars are parked in the premises. If all your cars are on the road, this is a deterrent and we won't have this pregnant lady die and her two-month old foetus too. One, two, three, tangkap semua. That is childishly simple, kan?

I travel a lot up and down the country.....seldom do I see any police presence except during your Op this and Op that. Get your squad cars to travel up and down the North South and we will have less accident s and less speeding. If it is too taxing do a sort of relay. To be frank, the police force is not what it used to be when I was a young man. The truth has to be told. You need to spend some quality time thinking about this.

And you have to tell your IOs to buck up on their investigations. Their incompetence is embarrassing. Their shoddy work make it difficult for our Prosecuters. Your people are giving my associates in the judiciary a bad name, do you know that?

Now how do you intend to charge these 15 people you arrested tonight? Did they destroy public property. Were they abusive? Did they show bad signs like that oaf MP from sabah or the Menteri Besar of Pahang? OK illegal assembly of more than 3 or 4. We are the only country with this rule! (Maybe Singapore too, but why must we be aping them all the time?) People First? I will have to talk to Hisham about this.

Earlier today you also arrested ChguBard and his three friends for presenting a cake to PM. Of course you say it is disrespectful....but respect must be earned, kan? And you guys arrest Mat Sabu because he asked people to assemble for special prayers at 5am tomorrow at the Ipoh Mosque.Can't wear Black, can't have special prayers! I am going to recommend that we have special prayers for you and your boys.

You and I work for the government and the rakyat is laughing at us most of the time, if not all the time? Why? We need to think seriously about this. Tomorrow in Ipoh, I hope your guys wont be too trigger happy, then not only Malaysians but the whole world will again laugh at us. Good night, I have work to do.

Musa never received this letter, as a planted SB took it to Hisham.....or is it a figment of my black imagination!
