A narrow minded Speaker
The Dewan Rakyat speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia had criticise the Pakatan Rakyat parliamentarians for taking advantage of the absent BN members of parliament by initiating an attempt to defeat the 2010 budget recently.
Is Pandikar denying the democratic practice by putting the blame on Pakatan Rakyat. If the BN MPs are absent, were that all Pakatan Rakyat's fault? Come on, you do speak like a man at all nor acting as a real parliamentary speaker. You try to deny the MPs' right to cast their vote for and against any bill.
MPs debate, analyse and speak on tabled laws and bills on behalf of the people who voted them into the parliament. Therefore, Pandikar has no right to criticise the Pakatan Rakyat MPs' move to vote against the budget. This is their democratic rights.
We wish to advise Pandikar, if you are ignorant of the basic democratic principles, then resign from your speaker's bench and let someone else perform.
