Theatrics and the the serious business of government

It seems that the knee jerk response from some BN MPs when faced with dissenting opinions is to ask the other person to go elsewhere. Holding an opinion which only you and other members of the nameless mob believe, does not confer you a right above the equal rights of others. The equal right that I am speaking of is the right to exist as a rightful citizen of this country. And in the exercise of legitimate rights conferred by law including the right of freedom of speech in so far as it is allowed by law.

Why is there a right for one side to state a position permitted by law given, but reaction to that right which is permitted by law in the first place, considered a wrong and accordingly denied?

The outbursts by Bung Mokhtar Radin in parliament recently reveal once again who Bung Mokhtar is. It seems that he has taken offence about what the ceo of Asia x commented on what Utusan Malaysia said. And that according to the rules of Bung Mokhtar constitutes a rebellion against king and country and must be punished by asking the ceo to leave the country. Not so long ago, the same mob judgment was applied when demands were made for Ambiga to be hanged because of dissenting views she had.

What has the CEO of Asia x said that has raised the ire of Utusan Malaysia and whose hurt is now taken up by the pugilistic and pugnacious Bung Mokhtar? He has merely spoken up against the stupidity of placing blame on others for UMNO’s loss. UMNO and BN lost in all the urban centres except Johor Bharu and the UMNO owned media conveniently blamed the Chinese.

The theatrics of the likes of Bung Mokhtar reveal one thing. Most of the BN reps are in parliament have no focus on how to debate on issues affecting the wellbeing of the country as w whole. So in order to distract attention from serious discussion on the business of government, the leaders of the mob, feed off the hysteria generated by a complaint and subservient print media.
