It's normal for MPs...

And so the great Nazri said:

“The two MPS were not giving speeches in the House, in which they can be accountable if their speech text had the offending words.

“I’m sure they didn’t have an agenda against Fong.

“But if they had offended women in general, that is another matter altogether. Then it’s up to them to apologise to women in general,” he added.

Nazri said it was unfortunate that the press had played up the incident, adding that it was part and parcel of parliamentary debates, and parliamentarians should not be easily offended by the heckling between one another.

Such unguarded outbursts always happen during debates and unfortunately the press had played up the issue, he said. -Source-


So you are telling me MPs (both from ruling party and opposition alike) insulting each other and acting as if they never even graduate from primary school is part and parcel of a "normal" parliamentary debate? You are telling me that any angry MP can just say something sexists and to a certain degree, sexually harrass, the other MP is normal? Didn't that Fong guy just said that bosses will be fine if they fail to take action to sexual harassment allegations? I see double standards here?

If you say insulting MPs during debates are normal, Mr. Nazri sir, then fuck Vision 2020 and set our vision to Vision 20,200BC where we can beat and insult each other like cavemen. Heck, you can accelerate this vision by canceling off a need for a Parliament, since a whole lot of us Malaysians don't even know shit about the essence of democracy and support Political Parties just like how we support their favourite EPL football teams, might as well turn this into an authoritarian state. So abolish democracy I say, if we can't become first World by 2020 let's be First World (from the bottom up) by then!
