Zul

You are a total washout. One of the parliamentary conventions is never to mislead the House.

I state categorically that you indeed misled the House when you said, in your own words, that "the event of that day had been manipulated by certain parties via 'cyber-media' and other newspapers into a violent protest while the gathering had actually been peaceful." (Emphasis mine.)

The gathering was indeed peaceful, but you did tell the demonstrators to "storm" the Bar Council building if you and the three or four others did not return by 10 am. It is on the record.

You are a member of the Malaysian Bar, a former Bar Councillor, and you told the demonstrators to storm the bulding? God is great because sanity prevailed among the demonstrators whose emotions you did try to stir. Why? As I said, the demonstrators never took your inane advice. We thank God for that.

I find it very difficult to reconcile your advice to the demonstrators to storm the Bar Council premises and your position as a lawyer and a former Bar Councillor. Don't ever stand again because my ballot and those of my learned friends won't be going the way of tongue twisters like you.

With respect, I do not think MP Chong (Bukit Mertajam) was, as you alleged, again in your own words, “taking an opportunity to criticise Islam and that she has a racist attitude.”

As a first-term MP, you seem to be part of the problem when you make allegations like that against an almost veteran MP who is respected on both sides of the House.

Zul, I say this on a friendly basis: If you cannot contribute, if you cannot be positive, if you are part of the problem, please resign from the august House. Don't ever belittle the augustness of the House because in doing that you are also insulting the great efforts of our Founding Fathers.

Please, have some respect for them. Most of them are all dead. Let them rest in peace!

Had you lived in the 1970s, you would have been cited for sedition. I still lament that my friend, the late Dr Ooi Kee Saik, was found guilty of sedition for not even doing what you did, in fact a lot, lot less.

What a change!

We now have MPs willing to openly disagree with one another on important matters of principle. This is such an improvement from the previous "practice" of blindly towing the line, or of not daring to speak out when persons in higher authority (or from a more powerful component party) have taken a position.

Our Parliament must keep progressing.

From the report, I fail to see how Chong Eng had been mistaken in her understanding of Islam with her one statement, or how she took opportunity to criticise Islam or bore a racist attitude, as alleged by Zul.

Will Zul now claim that this cyber-media of the Malaysian Bar too is guilty of manipulation?

Lim Chong Leong

Well said, Stephen.
