I am undaunted by these attacks

Apr 22, 2013 Letters

 

Dear Editor,
Two things happened to me over the past week. On Sunday morning I was awakened at 6:30am by a phone call. It was a close relative of mine. We arranged to meet immediately since he had some disturbing news for me and he could not reach my home at the time.
When we met he bluntly told me to watch my back. He related how he was asked to warn me because someone had threatened to harm me over the letters I pen to the media. He said this threat came as a direct result of the two pieces I did on the police brutality at Marudi.
The other incident concerns the house I am presently renting. My landlord was accosted by a businessman and was rudely asked why did he decide to rent me the house. The landlord rightfully replied that it was none of his business.
Mr. Editor, these two incidents must not be taken as isolated incidents. Throughout the years I had claimed that there was a centrally orchestrated plan to ruin me. The architects of that plan have succeeded somewhat. They have made me virtually penniless. All I am left with is my pride, my intellect and my life; and I will defend those ruthlessly.
I am undaunted by these attacks, though, because I am satisfied that my writings are making the impact that they have been intended to make, and the detractors cannot handle that. They cannot handle the truth. Hence the old adage that the pen is mightier than the sword holds true.
