YAB Tun,

Thanks to your ever consistent efforts to reason to the world as a statesman should. Come what may, you have a way of handling them effectively. It is because of your deep understanding of many underlying issues enabling common sense and facts to nip them in the bud or give a balanced view of things.

It is unlike the modern day politicians. They lack anything concrete to say when troubled with issues revealing their immaturity. Instead of clarifyng it becomes muddled. No wonder, others do not respect us, treat us like children and poke fun at will.

Najib do not have to explain to the Australian MPs. Zahid don't have to go to China. The Menteri don't have to go Singapore to explain. What are the ambassadors doing? Are they good only for reception of dignitaries and politicians?

They should be in the forefront as government mouthpiece and to provide information about Malaysia and the country they are being stationed. Forget about having agricultural attaches all over the world as mooted by the previous Agriculture Minister when we have nothing much to export (other than palm oil and rubber)!

Actually, our government do not have or not giving confidence in them. That was why the ambassador to the U.N. was called back and services terminated.
