Go Wash out Your Mouth with Soap!
It appears our MPs did not go to finishing school for their comments
verge on crass stupidity and vulgarity.
I remember my mother used to make this remark when we were young and even the word “damn” was not permitted. Even today, I do not use the “f” word aloud but that does not mean I do not use it in my brain. My adult daughters cuss more than I do but that’s the modern world.
How unfortunate that our Speakers allow MPs to trade insults, thereby lowering the decorum of our Parliament that is supposed to be one of the basic institutions of our democratic nation.
Perhaps the MPs can start a charity drive to reduce the insults in Parliament by donating RM2 each time the Speaker rules that they have broken the decency code to be established by the MPs themselves.
I have watched the parliamentary sessions of Singapore on TV and the way they conduct themselves is quite educational. Maybe Malaysians can also improve if we televise perhaps 40minutes of Parliament live, without any editing so that we can keep tabs on the behaviour on our elected representatives.
If RTM can televise Koran competitions live to help Muslims improve why can’t they televise parliamentary sessions to help all Malaysians improve?

They will NEVER telecast the sessions live precisely because of their inability to debate any relevant topic intelligently and the tendency of some MPs who love to insult women and utter racist remarks at the drop of a hat. And what about all those who hardly turn up at the august house to respond to queries? LIVE telecasts will only expose these recalcitrants for what they really are to the voters.
Our fault really. Collectively the rakyat voted some clowns into the august hall and true to form, they are performing. I ain't laughing though.
