How the parliament session proceed on Wednesday was really not as expected. We should respect everyone regardless of their physical appearance. Hey Peter, I recalled last time you posted something about buses in KL on Monsterblog. So, how’s the situation now? Are there such buses for the wheel-chair bound people? I didn’t see any yet…

Peter:
The buses are on the road but they do not pick up wheelchair users. Read http://www.petertan.com/blog/2008/04/14/airasia-beat-and-what-disabled-people-really-need/ for context.

I find politicians over here tend to pander to the crowds and generate controversy.As always everyone is so race-centric. You live in Malaysia, you assimilate and build on a unified culture-period. If you denigrate other cultures and religion as what is happening now, then I don’t see anything changing for a long time.
Politicians should be free to make impartial, unbiased and sometimes unpopular decisions for the country to progress.What we are seeing right now is a country in cruise mode and too many indian chiefs making a lot of noise but no action.

Peter:
Politicians will play the gallery if they feel that it will bring them support. It is pathetic when politicians elected by the people are not allowed to act on their conscience but vote according to party lines. Lets hope the change in political climate will bring about a greater change that will benefit Malaysia as a nation.

Ibrahim Ali – has left his soul way back in the early 90s when Semangat 46 tutup kedai. So forgive him lar – he has has brains on the place he is seating on. So -just ignore this politician who tried to act “pandai”.

Peter:
When he opened his mouth to ask such a stupid question, it left no doubt about his “kepandaian.”

maybe katak ibrahim had been hoping too much that his brain flew away. haha.

it’s sad to learn that our elected MPs are not sensitive to others at all. (including karpal, who started calling bung bigfoot).

Peter:
I hope there will be more productive debates after this.
