Welcome to Dewan Nickelodeon

As some might know , theres the Dewan Rakyat assembly going on right now in Malaysia . I look forward to this because its the only time you get to see mature , old , distinguished VIPs having a go at each other like little kids .

First of all , I'm not into politics and I dont represent any political party whatsoever . Hey I don't even vote , so call me a bad Malaysian if you want . This meeting is held at this month of the year amongst cabinet members , consisting government and opposition party members . 'Supposedly' , its objective is to discuss issues currently going on in the country and sort of find solutions to it .

An excerpt from one of the heated moments recently :

VIP1 : (BLa bla bla....civil service ..bla bla )

VIP2 : What ?!! (bla bla bla no la.. civil service ..bla bla )

VIP1 : Hah?!!!! You are disobeying Standing Orders ! Do not let this become a taman binatang (zoo) !!

VIP2 : Kau tu kepala segala binatang ! ( You're the head of the Zoo !) .

VIP1 : You're useless and you don't have brains !

VIP2 : Kau tu ada otak binatang (you only got a brain of an animal ! ) je !


Tsk Tsk . There you go . Hold your horses uncles ! These guys can easily be categorised in the 50-something age group . Look at how they handled themselves . These are CABINET MEMBERS ! for God's sake . What is up with all the name callings ? I can totally understand if this was an underworld secret society meeting between mafia heads , but this is the Dewan Rakyat . Please take note that beside this incident , everything went well and conducted in a civil manner . This incident does not represent the entire atmosphere throughout the meeting .

Seriously , why do we allow guys like those two in the cabinet ? Do we want childish politicians dictating our country ? I thought these guys are supposed to represent the voice of the people . Do people make the politician ?

I just think that we need qualified , mature individuals to be in the cabinet . We can always discuss it like mature adults , minus all the name callings and threats . Sometimes I feel that these guys think they might have a shot at becoming a Prime Minister by being so vocal and aggressive .

Plus another thing I don't like is that they start playing the blaming game on each other . When things go wrong , none would raise their two hands up and say "ok guys , I screwed up , let's work this out and help solve this together " . Everyone's keeping quiet of their mistakes , to save their asses . "

Mr. A : "Eh , its not my fault what , if Mr.B didn't screw up , this wouldnt have happened"
Mr. B : "Well I don't know anything bout that , Mr.C handles it , blame him ! "

ISh ish . These diversion of blame must be like an art for these guys . And bootlicking , oh my God , limitless . Regarding the oil price issue recently , no single politician dared to comment anything until the PM said something . After that , a plethora of comments echoed the PM , all motioning the move saying its a good idea . Tsk tsk .

Oh well , let's just hope we all be honest with ourselves and voice out what we REALLY think instead of beating around the bush or even worse , smiling while hiding a knife at the back .

Cheers .
