Parliament becomes slaughter house

As if it is not enough that our Parliament has been reduced to a zoo with animals heckling one another, shouting and making nonsensical sounds because they don't have a half a brain to string sentences together. Now the august house has been turned into a slaughterhouse, literally! The BN Backbenchers Club (BBC) decided to host a dinner last night to mark, in the words of the BBC chairperson Raja Ahmad Zainuddin Raja Omar, the "historic" recent marriage of the PM to his new wife. Claiming he has obtained approval from the Parliamentary officials, they brought in 6 cows and 10 goats to be slaughtered on-site under a shift-tent in the motorcycle parking bay. Nevermind the fact that there are Hindu MPs present and cows are sacred to them, let alone slaughtering them.

When grilled by journalists on this most shameful and idiotic incident, the BBC chief has the cheek to chide them for not fixing an appointment with his secretary (what happened to service to the rakyat?!?). When pointed out that his contention that slaughtering of cows and goats happened everywhere in government offices was wrong, he just shook his head. This is how sensitivity and tolerance towards people's belief is like in Malaysia...always a one way street. I think all sane Malaysians would not want this stupidity to happen again, more so when it is the Parliament we are talking about.
