Dear Pak Lah,

How are you? I hope you are busy making plans for your promised 'missions' that you set to 'see through' before you step down as prime minister.

I have faith in you to carry out your missions in the next five months (time is ticking by fast, you have only four months plus now), although in the span of the five years you were in power you failed to see through the reforms you promised when you took over this country.

A few months after you came into power, you did give Malaysians a new hope with your anti- corruption policies. You promised to clamp down on corruption and provide more avenues for the public to expose corrupt practices.

You opened investigations against several prominent figures from the previous prime minister’s era, arrested some ministers and it all looked pretty good but as Malays proverb goes Ku sangka panas sampai ke petang, rupanya hujan di tengahari .

(I thought of using another proverb Hangat hangat tahi ayam to describe your efforts in combating corruption but I am afraid you may be offended by the word tahi .)

Never mind. What I am trying to say is that after few early, convincing efforts and hopeful starts, all your anti-corruption initiatives fizzled out. Your administration’s efforts to fight corruption then became less transparent.

Apart from the five big missions you intend to see through before you step down in March, may I bring it to your attention another of your oft-repeated promise - to improve the public transportation system. Remember that?

It is been a while since you took the LRT and KTM Komuter in August. I was glad when I read that you had tried out our 'efficient' public transportation for yourself. Well, I saw you were standing quite uncomfortably in the trains.

If you don't mind me asking, what have you done to make our public transportation system more efficient than it is now? What are the plans (if any) to improve the public transportation system?

What happened to the plans to extend the LRT network? What happened to our savings from the fuel subsidy?

I understand your are in the process of setting up of a Commission of Land Transportation, which would recommend and formulate ways to improve land transportation, including for public buses. (Another commission? Sigh...)

Is this going to happen anytime soon? No offence, but you are quite famous for your 'setting up commission' style which seems lacking in firepower and is a less efficient approach to solve the problems on hand.

What happened to the Independent Police Commission for Misconduct and Complaints (IPCMC)? I lost count of how many commissions you already set up since you came to power. I just hope they are going to do a good job in making this country a better place to be.

Can you add this small mission to your five big missions that you want to 'see through' before you step down? Please ensure that something is done to improve our public transportation system.

I may have few suggestions but I really do not want to appear to be like telling you how to do your job especially when you have all the brightest and smartest talents working for you. Just make good of your promise, please?

I wish you all the best, may God grant you the best of health and the willpower to complete your unfinished missions in the coming months.
