My open letter to Mr Jackson Yogarajah, the genius behind “32 Reasons why Kak Pah was not faking it” article.


Dear Mr Jackson,

My name is Faizall, a writer over at go with the flow, I wanted to commend you on the great article produced by The Malay Mail (Tuesday, October 19,2004) named "32 Reasons why Kak Pah was not faking it". I’m thoroughly enjoyed reading it. To me, you’re damn good.

You said that you saw her on TV3 news report and by that alone, you are 100 per cent sure that she was telling the truth. Wow, that’s cool Mister. Common folks like myself couldn’t do that. That’s maybe the reason I’ve been duped before, and I’m sure I’m gonna be dupe again in the near future. Maybe I should buy your book “Understanding Body Language”, the one you intend to publish at the end of this year. It will surely help me understand people better, and then maybe I can be as genius as you.

I salute you Mister, you are one brave man. I respect your willingness to put your career on the line for this. Wow, even a politician wouldn’t put their career on the line for Kak Pah. You are one of the kinds Mister. But, maybe I’m wrong on this. People will do anything for a Diva. Kak Pah is simply a Diva, in her own way.

You also said that you as body language specialist, you’ve been able to detect deception at a glance. And you learn all this just by following the writings of the ‘Oxford University social psychological group on non verbal communications’, which comprised retired professors. Never thought we can be a specialist just by reading materials written. To this day, I though we need to get a Doctorate or maybe a Master degree to become an expert.

Now I think I should read the writings. It’s great stuffs. Where can I get it Mister? I would also love to have the privilege to trains professionals and government bodies such as the police, Immigration and Customs personnel on lie-detecting techniques just like you. I bet, they paid a great sum of money for that.

You’ve already conducted 300 seminars? Wow, I’m sorry I didn’t know it earlier, for I’m sure I’m gonna be the first person to register. I want to learn from the best, and you’re the best Mister. You’re able to detect deception just by that, that’s genius.

So that's about it Mister. Do drop me an email sometime at faizalibrahim78@yahoo.com , but I’m sure you have better things to do with your life than to write a stupid letter to me. You must be busy now. I bet, people will love and be more eager to attend your seminars or buy your book now. No matter how busy your life Mister, remember to relax once in the while. Have a nice Deepavali Mister.

Yours truly,
Faizall
