i can be a minister la if like dat!
i was reading jeff ooi’s blog on the suspension of the junior minister for criticizing the government today when i took time to read the excerpts on the parliamentary session that led to the decision.
i was not very much surprised the way they speak at each other because i think it happens in other countries as well (in taiwan they like to punch the other ministers) tapi the name-calling by Dato’ Seri Mohamed Nazri bin Abdul Aziz is like.. doi macam budak-budak and keterlaluan.
here’s one line from him when he was asking another minister to take a seat..
Racist, racist duduk, racist duduk. Hei, duduk, perkauman duduk, bloody racist, duduk.
he uttered the word racist and perkauman like more than 20x! i read the whole excerpt and i am stil trying to figure out why he’s calling the other minister a racist.
you can read the excerpts here.
anyway, this reminds me of a children show when i was young, usually it was shown during National Day. they take a bunch of children and make a small stage that looks like the parliament and they’ll start discussing small-small things.. like kekurangan susu dalam kotak di sekolah etc etc. and sometimes there’ll be name calling and minister crying macam baby.
emmm.. i thought they were making fun, tau-tau that’s how it is pulak sana tu! if like dat.. me oso can become a minister leiii!
