So my country's got a new Prime Minister and a new First Lady.Welcome to you both and may you bring forth this country of mine to further levels where we the different races can live in peace and harmony.I hope too there will no more be acts of bigotry which have gone out of control lately.
To PL,thank you for being the man that you always will be..kind,calm and always having a good word for people.Thank you too for NOT being nasty to anyone even if that 'anyone' has been cruelly nasty to you.To me,you are indeed a true Muslim.
Like you said,the first thing you'd do is to get some sleep and then to move out of SP.Then you're going to take a holiday with Jeanne and then return to life as an ordinary citizen.Good for you.This is exactly what you should do.Your time as the the PM is done so you should move on and let your successor do his thing.I sincerely and fervently hope that you will give advice only when asked to and when asked to,to give it in the most positive manner and fatherly way.NO heckling and bad-mouthing please.It's just not your style!Bad-mouthing a leader in your OWN country especially in the international arena is despicable and desperate.Muslims refer it to as MENGHINA dan ia sesungguhnya mengaibkan saudara sendiri!!
Most people especially politicians,claim that what they do is for the hoi-polloi.But when they do do it, you can see that its not for the people but for themselves.Period.When your successor takes over,he will have his own ideas of how to run the country.It is dictatorial to say the least if you expect him to do what you desired to do but could not because you had to leave!That was why there was so much angst and scorn for you.Its like my piano teacher getting sore with me because I decided to play' Getaran Jiwa 'in the rhumba tempo than in largo beat.I know that you will not publically hug someone and immediately bad-mouth him in the same breath.You are you PL,and may Allah bless you and your family and a long and fruitful retired life to you!AMIN.
(I am apolitical truly but at certain periods of my life when the situation in my country is not to my liking,I need to say my piece.After all, this is where I live!!)
