MalaysiaKini Parliament Playing Cat And Mouse

Is our Malaysia Parliament Now (MalaysiaKini) playing cat and mouse? Do we really need to have Parliament sitting? It seems like our Parliament is going to the dog.

A call for a vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi by Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) President Datuk Yong Teck Lee has received endorsement by SAPP supreme council.

Feeling the pressure and to be ahead, a motion by the Minister for Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad seeking support for the measures taken by the government over price increases of food, oil and commodities, including reduction of oil subsidies was tabled with the motion going through on a 129 Yes and 78 No.

The motion by Datuk Shahrir should have been tabled before they implement the so call measures over price increases of food, oil and commodities, including reduction of oil subsidies and NOT AFTER.

So does the PM or BN feel better after the motion with the 129 members support?

I think the Parliament has more urgent matters to resolve rather then wasting time to call and show support for any individual or party.

For Barisan National Parliamentarians, please think of the rakyat first before your party. Its no point sticking to the party rule that you have to follow the whip instruction to vote for or against. If your leader is weak, its weak, that, you cannot change even though he may be a nice guy but we do not need a nice guy but a strong and able leader to run our country.

For Pakatan Rakyat Parliamentarians, please do not create unnecessary tension. If you have the majority to take over the Federal Government, just do it. Don't keep prolonging your statement that you have the numbers but waiting for this or that. Do not create political uncertainties which may lead to unnecessary suffering of the rakyat.

To all Parliamentarians, the rakyat is suffering, the economy is bad, we the rakyat need you all to sit in Parliament to work out solutions and resolve the problems and not fight against each other.

To the Prime Minister, do not make any further flip-flop statements. Your last statement calling Yong Teik Lee a greedy man is totally uncalled. Tell me which one of your elected members is not greedy. As of today, what I know is that they are all elected to gain something and not really to serve the rakyat. Just like you, why are you still hanging on, when there are calls for you to step down.

Get down to work and stop playing cat and mouse.
