I have this image in my mind of two frogs hugging each other on top of a mountain, one looking at one side of the world and the other looking at the opposite side, which I had seen as a kid in a story book.
I Googled 'fairytale of the two frogs' and among other links, led me to this adaptation from Andrew Lang's Japanese fairytale of The Two Frogs:

Actually, the story is irrelevant to my piece, just the picture of two animals looking at different sides of the world.
In fact, it would be more relevant to use the examples of a Watchdog and a Bloodhound.
From what we have gathered from MACC's operations, it appears to have two sides, one looking after Barisan Nasional, the ruling coalition and the other, looking after Pakatan Rakyat, the opposition coalition.
The so-called Watchdog in charge of BN appeared to be either near-sighted like Mr. Magoo, or what the British would describe as 'close one eye and shut the other', where he could not even see a big elephant passing by. What PKFZ? What mansion? We are busy doing our job... investigating and cannot disclose what we are doing, ok?
On the other hand, the Bloodhound which is in charge of PR, appeared to use a magnifying glass wherever he went. He can and is especially interested in minor activities which might remotely be of use to charge the representatives of PR. So what if it failed, the highlighted publicity in the mainstream media would do enough damage to make it worthwhile.
Examples were the cows bought for the people by YAB Khalid Ibrahim; Rm2,400 expenses incurred by Teoh Beng Hock which ended in tragedy; the birthday cake for YAB Nik Aziz; and now more rubbish are being dug up, what with the powerful magnifying glass being used.
