The Star’s Wong Chun Wai has spoken up and spares no chance for a bunch of lawmakers a.k.a clowns.
While the majority of MPs have carried themselves with decorum and dignity, there are still certain legislators whose performances, if not antics, have continued to tarnish the image of the House.
Granted that proceedings of the House can sometimes be monotonous, some MPs believe that they need to liven up the House and, in the process, get their names published in the newspapers.
From name-calling to provocative statements, to remarks with racial overtones, these MPs seem to have the assumption that their performance is being judged in this manner. [...]
Let us see MPs who can engage in high-quality debates with elegance and witty repartee, not clownish and intimidating antics. Well-researched speeches with the right dose of punchlines are what we look forward to, not petty side-shows.
His famous words of wisdom: Given the sensitive nature of religious issues, we expect our MPs to use their heads when discussing issues affecting all Malaysians.
Ouchhhh, headless some.
