PARLIAMENT | BN lawmaker Noh Omar has decried alleged double standards by the Pakatan Harapan government with regard to politicians attending school events.
He was expressing his unhappiness in the Dewan Rakyat over a recent incident, in which a principal received a warning letter for allowing him to attend an event at a school in his constituency.
Noh compared the issue of politicians entering schools, to the perception of wrongdoing in relation to robbery and riding a motorcycle without wearing a helmet.
"Previously, when no one disputed the matter, then there wasn't any issue. You are a lawyer, (so you know that) stealing is not wrong, it only become wrong when one gets caught.
"Riding a motorcycle without a helmet is not wrong, it becomes wrong once one is caught by the (traffic) police," the Tanjung Karang MP said.
He was responding to RSN Rayer (Harapan-Jelutong), who had stated that opposition lawmakers could not even enter schools when BN was in power.
Noh replied that the rules and regulations were still the same under the Harapan administration.
He earlier claimed that he had observed the rules and regulation by obtaining permission to enter the school, adding that he was merely attending a parent-teacher association (PTA) event to present a contribution without giving a speech.
"Despite this, the headmaster was called (by the education officer) and slapped with a warning letter," Noh said.
He claimed he had turned a blind eye to government lawmakers officiating PTA meetings at schools without permission.
"So, I am saying, (the Harapan government) has to be fair," he said. - Mkini
