From The Middle Ground by RomerzHow did he ever become a law maker?
Pasir Salak MP from UMNO Tajuddin Abdul Rahman is embroiled in controversy yet again.Malaysiakini reports that he has been accused of making sexual innuendos in the Dewan Rakyat by Fong Po Kuan (DAP - Batu Gajah). According to Fong, the MP from Pasir Salak had made the offensive remarks when trying to interject Mujahid Yusof Rawa's (PAS - Parit Buntar) debate on the motion to cut the education minister's pay by RM10/-.
The offensive remarks were recorded in the Hansard (official records of parliament) of the exchange between, Deputy Speaker Ronald Kiandee, Mujahid and Tajuddin.
Tajuddin : Oh, tak masuk lagi?
Kiandee : Dia tak bagi Yang Berhormat, tak bagi.
Tajuddin : Dia tak masuk lagi? Dah lama tak masuk-masuk. Main tepi saja.
Mujahid : Yang Berhormat Pasir Salak sabarlah.
Tajuddin : Bila nak keluar lagi air dia?
Not only that, Tajuddin had sparked off an uproar in the Dewan Rakyat when he called M Kulasegaran (DAP - Ipoh Barat) a "keling" (a derogatory term for Indians). In the ensuing uproar, the sexual innuendo was missed until Fong Po Kuan brought it up via section 36(4) of the standing orders.
Tajuddin escaped further action for the "keling" remark when he retracted it. Now we shall see if further action is taken against him for the sexual innuendo.
Please be reminded that this is not the first time Tajuddin has behaved like a lout in parliament. Early this month, Tajuddin had called Kulasegaran a "bloody bastard". Again no action was taken against him as the speaker had ruled that no further action is needed since Tajuddin had retracted the words.
What else can or need we say about the calibre of BN monkeys in Parliament?

There are two sets of rules in Malaysia's Parliament - one for BN and the other for the Opposition. Haven't you noticed recently how readily the Speaker suspends Opposition lawmakers but lets BN lawmakers get away with sheer murder. So be very surprised if this lawmaker gets away with a light tap on the wrist.
Big Monkey taking care of monkeys.
