Dewan Rakyat Speaker makes his own RULES
by Terence Netto@www.malaysiakini.com
PKR disciplinary row chairperson Tan Kee Kwong denounced a brand new restrictions upon parliamentary practice he pronounced were arbitrarily imposed by House orator Pandikar Amin Mulia even as Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak foists a sham of a "best democracy" upon a country.
"On a the single hand, you have a orator creation his own rules upon parliamentary procedure as well as upon a other, you have a Prime Minister proclaiming swell towards a ostensible idea of creation a country a 'best democracy' whilst he does several things which give a lie to his rhetoric," pronounced Tan.
"It's a case of both playing blind man's bluff," cracked a former Gerakan MP as well as Deputy Minister in a BN government, who joined PKR in 2009.
Tan (left) was referring to Pandikar's recent deception of a gag upon a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) until such time as a parliamentary row is ready to table a findings upon any make a difference it was investigating as "unheard of as well as arbitrary."
"It's an arbitrary deception which was never heard off during a time we was a member of a PAC between 2004 as well as 2008," pronounced Tan.
"Shahrir Samad of UMNO was chairman of a PAC as well as Tan Seng Giaw of DAP was vice-chairman during a duration we was a member of a PAC as well as they never had to contend with such a rule," he recalled.
"The PAC during which time delved into such open controversies as a Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) as well as a purchase of offshore unit vehicles as well! as woul d meet a press after each session of a inquiry to inform a open of a findings," elaborated Tan.
"Not once did a Speaker then, Ramli Ngah Talib, intervene to impose restrictions upon Shahrir's steering of a PAC," he said.
"Now you have a orator who makes his own rules as well as pretends which his concoctions have been copied from parliamentary procedure from sky knows where!" he exclaimed.
Time limit upon Budget reply
Tan also lambasted Pandikar (left) for limiting Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim to one-and-a-half hours for a latter's reply to a Budget address.
"When we was in Parliament (1995-2008), a antithesis leaders Lim Kit Siang as well as for a brief spell, Fadzil Noor, were not limited to a bound time slot.
"Kit Siang could speak for hours but right away a orator boundary a debate as important as a antithesis leader's reply to a Budget residence to one-and-a-half hours a ridiculous restriction," fumed Tan.
Tan, son of a mythological oppositionist, Tan Chee Khoon, as well as who is expected to be fielded as a PKR candidate for a Federal Territory parliamentary constituency of Wangsa Maju, afterwards trained his ire upon Najib.
"On a the single hand, he says he is in pursuit of a 'best democracy' as well as a other, he is absent from Parliament when Anwar rose to reply to a Budget address. Worse, none of his ministers were present.
"This is someone who is a willful trafficker in self-delusion. When his father, Razak (Abdul Razak Hussein) was Prime minister, he once educated his fellow Alliance ministers to take records at you! r conven ience my father Chee Khoon spoke in Parliament because he pronounced Chee Khoon's speeches were full of facts as well as data which would benefit ministers as well as others intending to contribute meaningfully to process formulation.
"Now you have a son saying a single thing as well as doing a expect opposite. And a open is asked to certitude which he is leading a country to a idea of being a most appropriate democracy. "He must think a open a garland of know nothings who can be led a dance around a mulberry bush."
