Welcome to Malaysia

This is on Monday's Straits Time (click link for full story):

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who is the BN whip, hauled up Datuk Bung Moktar Radin (BN-Kinabatangan) and Datuk Mohamed Aziz (BN-Sri Gading) and said he would refer them to the Cabinet as they had breached party policy.

The two had supported a motion by Opposition leader Lim Kit Siang to refer International Trade and Industry Ministry secretary-general Datuk Sidek Hassan to the Committee of Privileges.

Najib said under the party’s policy and practice, BN MPs cannot support a motion by an Opposition party.

"As such, we have informed the two MPs involved. They have expressed their regret and offered their apologies," he said at the Parliament lobby here.


In short, two MPs is getting their ass grilled and force to apologise for supporting the Opposition on the AP issue. Is this what democracy is all about in Malaysia? One must be in full support of his/her party eventhough it is in the wrong?
