Last night, when I was zealously waiting for an update on the meeting between the Perak menteri besar from Pakatan Rakyat with the Sultan of Perak, my attention was caught by another breaking news Pak Lah has lunch with Anwar .

What a surprise! What was the meeting about? Could that meeting change the political dilemma in Perak? Without further ado, I clicked into the news.

Well, it was about the top two political duo of the nation running into each other while attending a Muslim function and somehow got arranged by the third party to have lunch together.

During the historical 20 minute meeting, which perhaps could change the political life of the incoming prime minister, the conversation was actually on the taking over of executive power by Najib Abdul Razak this coming April.

According to a source close to Anwar, Abdullah responded ‘it was too late to do anything now’ after being asked by Anwar on the PM’s entrusting the country to Najib. Then the PM hinted, possibly in trying to lessen the concern of Anwar, that he had a core of loyal supporters within the party who would keep Najib in check.

What I want to tell Pak Lah is ‘it’s not too late till you give up’. Yes, the catchphrase now is ‘do it or never’. It will only be too late when Najib takes over the spot.

Of course, we know it’s now less than three weeks away from the Umno party elections. But considering the citizens’ intense efforts to stop Najib from taking over as the sixth prime minister of Malaysia, Pak Lah should realise there is no way that Malaysia can afford a PM who upholds Mahathirism to rule the country for only God knows how long.

Thousands and thousands of Malaysians have been protesting against what the ruling party has done to the country. From 2007’s Bersih rally for a cleaner and fairer elections to 2008’s anti-ISA vigils and Jerit’s cycling for change campaign to 2009’s protest against BN taking over of Perak state government, the rally for an immediate medical treatment for the Hindraf leader and the very recent protest against the use of English for teaching Math and Science, we have seen how Malaysians have expressed their requests for changes to come upon Malaysia.

It was gratifying to see Pak Lah’s ‘honesty’ to Anwar, but Pak Lah should look at what Malaysians have been calling for all these years.

Though we have the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) sitting somewhere under the administration, nothing done by both commissions has led the public to acknowledge the independence, professionalism and impartiality of both commissions. That being said, Pak Lah’s policy has failed to restore the integrity of the two commissions.

Since Standard One, we have been taught to obey the laws and we were even required to memorise the Rukun Negara. I am sure we were not only taught to ‘talk the talk’ but more importantly ‘walk the talk’.

‘However, what we are seeing today in Malaysia is that some top leader of the nation can actually escape from investigation despite numerous allegations against that leader for money politics and corruption.

It was utterly surprising to see how non-reactive the incumbent PM was when asked to set up an independent team to investigate all allegations that involve the incoming PM. Why is everyone, including the police and Pak Lah, so afraid of calling Najib in for questioning?

Pak Lah, with his goals to restore public confidence in the judiciary and to increase the competitiveness of the nation and to attract more foreign investors to the country, should be proactive in his actions and justify his promises made during his electoral campaign of 2004.

Instead of being pessimistic that ‘it’s too late to do anything now’, there is this number one thing which is also the most obvious one that he can do immediately and that is to terminate the appointment of Najib till all the allegations surrounding him are cleared up.

Pak Lah has failed to bear his sword. He has failed to be a good servant of God in bringing punishment to the wrongdoers. Why are we seeing protests from the citizens almost every day? The answer cannot be more apparent – a total injustice that has been brought upon the country simply because of the government’s refusal to be a good servant of God.

I really wish that Pak Lah can once again stand up. I am not sure what obstacles he is facing from his own party. Till he resigns from his post, he is still the Number One person in his party. He should not forsake the will of thousands of his citizens just because of some deniable, internal pressure if compared to the pressure from God.

Really, if Pak Lah does not want to see the nation’s central governing power fall into the hands of Pakatan Rakyat, he should realise that majority of the opposition coalition’s supporters would rather have him than Najib being the PM of the nation.

So, Pak Lah, show the people that you are not a ‘sleeping PM’. Amidst this hard economical and political downturn, handling your position to Najib is not an option. We want you to carry on your responsibility as PM even after March 31.

Believe in Pakatan Rakyat. With the help and the momentum of her supporters, you can put this totally upside down country back on track again. Never forget, God is always with a good servant.
