I refer to the letter Muhd Muhd Taib: Aussies had let us down .

All I can say is, how 'recalcitrant' of us!

Fair go: Can you imagine what would have happened, and what would have been made of it by all the 'wira-wira' and 'mini-hulubalang' in Umno had anything but 'kid-gloves' been used by Australian authorities at the time?

In 1993, a lesson had been forcefully taught by a most demanding teacher and dutifully heeded, by a suitably contrite pupil.

Mungkin 'Malaysia boleh'; tetapi dalam keadaan yang sedemikian, Australia tidak boleh lagi. Inilah warisan Che Det dalam bidang perhubungan antarabangsa, terutama dalam 'perhubungan dwihala' antara Malaysia dan 'Oztraylia'.

A place which, as the man himself, in rollicking good fun and less than respectful amity, told an Umno assembly some years back, is: 'A good place to die'.

That's according to that master English elocutionist Che Det.
