Bad Boys

The schoolchildren were excited and laughing out loud in Parliament yesterday. I don’t blame them because the Dewan Rakyat proceedings took a nasty turn yesterday.
The Pakatan Rakyat (PR) MPs disrupted the proceedings in the Parliament by manipulating procedures of the sitting to attempt to refer the Pasir Salak MP to the Privileges Committee for a fair remark.
They delayed debates by frequently demanding unnecessary votes by poll which was won by Barisan Nasional (BN) with a large margin. Their actions just wasted time and prevented key legislation from being approved.
Najib’s ‘Year of Living Dangerously’

As a son of a former dedicated party man and minister, I understand the almost impossible task of emulating a legacy in politics.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Najib Abdul Razak is still struggling to shake off the public’s comparison with his great statesman father, Tun Abdul Razak Hussein after a year in office.
Datuk Seri Najib can draw a few similarities with the enormous task at hand confronting his late father 40 years ago.
