I read with great interest former US ambassador to Malaysia John R Malott's response to the self-acclaimed ' Malaysian voice ' of Mustapha Ong.

I do not wish to be included in the "we" context that Mustapha wants to represent as that should rightly read as "he and cronies".

I am ashamed that he had lambasted outsiders this way and he probably embarrassed himself and other people with his outburst.

But now that he has got the ball rolling, I am very anxious to read his next response to Malott's 'exposé'.
