IDIOCY IN MALAYSIAN PARLIAMENT

Greetings...

I watched Malaysian Parliament in session few times. What I found interesting is how these so-called the Members of Parliament, the representative of Malaysian citizens, the group of people that suppose to set good example, fighting like a Primary School students. The Speaker of the Parliament faced lots of difficulties to calm all the member of Parliament and this scenario is equivalent to the difficulties faced by a teacher in controlling bunch of stubborn students in a classroom. These members of Parliament sometimes shouted at each other, mumbled without proper thing to say, got unnecessarily emotional, and did not listen to the Speaker to keep quiet. And sometimes the Speaker seemed as if he is going to have nervous break down when all these members of Parliament shouted as if they are in the wet market.

I have this ridiculous thought...

How much to install an audio system in which one person [the Speaker] could control which which member of Parliament can talk and which one can not? What I mean is an audio system in which in front of the Speaker located lots of buttons. If the Speaker wants MP from Jerlun to talk, he just need to press Jerlun. Other mic put into mute mode. So no matter how many people want to intervene MP of Jerlun speech, their voice could not be heard, not until they shout like Tarzan in the jungle. The current audio system in the House of Parliament allows everybody to speak, and all their voice could be heard through a loudspeaker. How ridiculous is that?

I believe that is the best solution on how to maintain order in the Parliament. Sending them away, emphasizing and re-emphasizing that the members of Parliament should behave, etc. does not work. So having 'fit-to-the-purpose' audio system is much practical. Unless such approach is unconstitutional according to Malaysia Constituional that I do not know of. If the government does not have enough budget for that, allow me to get the donation from my friends and other citizens. I believe some my friends and most of the citizens also could stand all the yelling of the immature members of Parliament in the name of so-called 'democracy'. Whatever...

Feel free to give any comment.

Thank you for your valuable time.
