DEAR Dr Mahathir

IT is difficult to congratulate you for your self appointment as the next Education Minister. Not especially with Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali being unhappy that you have broken your promise not to take up an additional portfolio as you already have the heavy job of a Prime Minister. You have hardly slept the past week and the nation is worried about your health.
