I read today’s The Star with shocking disbelieve over the resignation of Shahrir Samad as the top guy of the Backbencher’s Club. Shahrir had asked MPs in the parliament to support a motion being tabled by DAP’s leader Lim Kit Siang to criticise the inteference in the execution of duty by the Malaysian Royal Customs and Excise Department’s office in Melaka by an MP of the ruling party. Despite the thumping applause by MPs for Shahrir, the latter received little or no support by fellow MPs from the ruling party.

Nazri Aziz, in his press statement, later said that even if the MPs from the ruling party support the motion, they should not vote to support it as it came from the Opposition.

Now…members of the ruling party have always said that the Opposition only knows how to oppose every single good thing the ruling party tables in Parliament for the benefit of the rakyat. So why should MPs from the ruling party then not support a good thing that has been tabled by the Opposition? This is destructive politics, where each side only listens to itself.

Now I wonder if Nazri is half-baked or fried…???
