This issue should be approached in a bipartisan manner since the remarks hurt the feelings of women and have tarnished the image of BN MPs and the Parliament.
Umno MPs headless chicken
It is very embarrasing for women to even think about it, sigh, not to mention that we have to make it into an issue and shout about it in the Parliament.
Govt tries to disarm The Rocket
Today I wrote a statement to rebut and criticise Deputy Minister of Internal Security Foo Ah Kiow trying to further limit the sales of The Rocket and other opposition organs. I said this shows that the ministry wants to control the media and control opposition parties. This is an act of restricting freedom of speech…
‘Liberty! Equality! Fraternity!’
I would like to say it loud and clear especially to my West Malaysian friends, that most – I would say all – Sabahans are not like that! We are a courteous, considerate lot who treat you equally regardless of your gender, race or belief. We welcome you in our fraternal and maternal arms in this age of liberty and equality.
Shelters to ‘protect, not detain’ victims
VICTIMS of human trafficking will be placed in shelters for their own protection. Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Abdul Aziz said this would allow the authorities to interview them. “The shelters are not detention centres, but for the victims’ best interests, to protect them from pimps or syndicates which trafficked in…
国会会议的最后一天
三年前某一期的国会，在国会最后一天的会议里，国会大厦外头倾盆大雨，雨水 从刚装修好不久的下议院天花板流了下来，后来雨水甚至干扰下议院的电路系统，导致麦克风和闭路电视不能操作，而逼使下议院院长提早宣布休会。 本周的国会的最后一天的会议，也与屋顶漏水有关。在本周三中午，雨水从国会大厦的媒体室外的天花板的几个小洞口流下，又成了另一宗政府部门建筑物纰漏的丑闻。 结果，更令国会蒙羞的，不是这宗天花板漏水的事件，而是当行动党议员在下议院把这事件提出来时，两个巫统议员居然会把屋顶漏水和冯宝君的“月漏“连在一块儿谈。当然更令咱们无奈的是，当冯宝君根据国会会议第26(1)(P)条例动议把这两个“衰多口“的议员提交到国会权利与自由委员会（即国会的纪律他委员会）审判时，议长竟然以该条文不适于提交这两个活宝到权利与自由委员会，因为有关条文只能在事件发生的当时引用。 换句话说，国会的会议条规根本就没有适当的条文来对付这些出言不逊的国阵“沙猪“议员。但是在这之前，国阵却能通过他们在下议院的强大势力，以冯宝君批评议长和卡巴星引用错误法律为由，通过动议而中止他俩的议员资格半年。
Anti-Human Trafficking Bill
All MPs were called back to attend Parliament sitting yesterday so that the Parliament can clear many bills that have been presented to us. It is really not easy for me, cos I have to do reading and make speeches. Thank God that I have friends who helped with pointers and references on certain bills….
