The dodgy state of todays Parliament,the Monster we have unleashed

I've been closely following reports on the "close one eye" scandal involving the MP for Jasin , its interesting to note he first says he was "helping" a constiuent,and then it was helping a Bumiputra company and then the cat gets out of the bag....the company in question was his all along and has the cheek to ask " whats wrong with that?". It strikes me that a man who has come up with 3 versions of a story which involves himself clearly has something to hide, and is blatantly beng untruthful. At the same time Shahrir Samad MP, who is also the chief backbencher is ostracized by the top echelon of the ruling party for breaking rank from the party by supporting an opposition motion...which is a big NO NO in the ruling coalition. Here's a man who voted on principle for parliamentary integrity (an issue which I"m sure surpasses party and ideological lines) being dumped a side by top echelons fr being not a Yes man, and another MP with a dodgy scandal and an even dodgier excuse getting away with it.

The problem here is just a subset to a bigger problem as a whole,when an MP can make a racial slur in Parliament and get away with it with no reprimand and no retraction of the offending word its indeed worrying. With a parliamentary majority of 92% the rulling coalition can just do as they like in parliament with impunity, this is parliament where name calling and mud slinging rules the day where motions are voted along party lines not based on merit and where integrity is non existent among the ruling MP's. At the end of the day its up to the people to decide wheter to put an end to this , or just let it continue at the expense of the electorate. We all ultimately get what we choose, we have unleashed a monster but we can also leash it back and reduce its bite.Its all up to the voter himself.
