Dear Pete,

You have caused many to have sleepless nights trying to catch up with your court appearances. If I am ill-advised, I would have thought you are one of those circuit judges traveling from one courthouse to another! Anyway, this is not a complaint.

Frankly, I am amazed or rather baffled by how you are able to convince them that you are a threat to your country? Did you print false money? Did you plan to rob a bank? Did you plan a coup of some kind?

No? What? You said that you only love to write and to tell stories? Aha! They must have realized that you are trying to emulate the MSM (= mainstream media) in spinning tales! That’s it! Siapa makan cili, dia yang rasa pedas. So they think that after so many donkey years of spinning to fool the rakyat, the MSM now has competition in the form of dear old Pete!

Ai ya! Fools they are! Did they not know that peng does not know who dear old Pete is, until your name and your court appearances got plastered all over the MSMs and also the blogs. Then I tried to find out more about you. After I learned more of who you are and what you love to do best, that is to write, I said to myself, ‘Pete writes for nuts!’. Okay, the MSMs write for money, but you, you write to drive them nuts!

And your writing drove the nuts to make you a hero. In the old Chinese movies, there is always a character role where one fella will play the unbeatable = no matter how much you beat him, he cannot die. This is the hero that they made you to be. Everybody knows about you, even my 80 plus and 70 plus parents. See, how things backfired? The more beatings you get, the more publicity you will get, pushing you further to be a super superhero.

Someone better tell the advisers of them to ‘cari jalan lain’ to get at you. They must know that if it took 40-odd years (take out the early years under Bapa Malaysia, he was a white knight) for the MSMs to infiltrate our minds, it will take another 40-odd years for you to infiltrate ours by your story-telling. By the way, I must complain a wee bit that your ‘cheong heh’ 5-page articles usually bore me to tears and sleep. I know it is fashionable to write long articles and you have cleverly hidden your fatal ‘one-liner’ inside those 5 pages. Most have trained their eyes and mind to speed read. So it is not a problem spotting your fatal ‘one-liner’ actually.

You see, the 40-odd years of brainwashing and distilling have made us a wee bit ’stupid’. So how can your 5-page ‘cheong heh’ grandfather stories (yes, I know you are a grandfather) deprogram us?

This is why I say they made you a superhero lah!
