The prime ministers of Malaysian political party, UMNO (United Malays National Organization) since 2009, including ex-UMNO prime minister Mahiaddian Yasin who formed Bersatu party, have a history of appointing less than capable personalities to be the ministers and deputy ministers. Some of the appointed ministers had since become laughing stocks of the world. These prime ministers preferred loyalty over competency, and the outcome is obvious.
The result is disappointing when you see each of these 70 ministers and the deputy ministers drawing tens of thousand of Malaysian Ringgit a month are only able of reading pre-prepared script provided to them in the parliamentary debate on 5 year national development plan 20021-2025. Parliament is a formal conference for the discussion of public affairs. It is a place for intellectual discourse to discuss and decide the important policies for the whole country. Treating it like a 'Reading Class' at a school in Malaysia simply does not cut it. It is plainly wrong for a country's important policies to be pushed through without check and balance, and discussion on the appropriateness of the policies.
Mr prime minister of Malaysia, Malaysian parliament is not a school classroom. I beg your pardon.
Outside Malaysian Parliament
Inside Malaysia Parliament ?
