Parliament in Malaysia

It is an exhilarating experience to watch live session of the Parliament through the Internet since it is not readily available from other media. It is such an eye and mind opener listening to both sides. Unfortunately, not all Malaysians have this golden opportunity to assess the performance of our MP and how sincere they are to look after the welfare of the people they claim to represent.

Maybe the reason why the authority does not allow extended and unfiltered coverage is because they don't want the people to bother listening and analysing what the Opposition is saying since they prefer to brainwash and spoon feed the public of what they need to listen to and believe. This is different from listening to the truth since what they present to the public is their version of the whole story.


Listening to LKS is very enlightening and educational though his Malay is not as polished as DPZ of Batu Pahat or even BMR of Kinabatangan. He brings with him a wealth of knowledge as he comes to the Session prepared unlike BMR especially who talks without bringing his brain! Surprisingly, the governing coalition still prefer him over other more qualified and compassionate individual. Why? Is it because he is important as a front to insult others without no blame attached to the ruling coalition? Every time he opens his mouth, all that come out is rubbish and not just ordinary rubbish but stinking rubbish to the extent his own brethren take offence of his empty comment.


Being a Malaysian from Sabah (fortunately I'm not from Kinabatangan) I feel ashamed to admit that he comes from Sabah. Though he possesses a Master from UKM but an ordinary person without such qualification is able to express far more logical and knowledgeable insights. Being an MP, they particularly BMR should do some extensive not just any homework before opening their mouths in the august House.


The solidarity among the Opposition is something that is never heard of before which is heart warming and of course a welcome development. At the same time, members from the governing coalition instead of closing their ranks but start to hurl accusation to each other, criticising each other not sparing even the PM particularly.
