Parliament live!
Did you guys watch the first ever live broadcast of Parliament today?
I go into office around 10.30am and caught a glimpse of the TV where the PM was answering a question. I asked if it was ending and the boss said, “It just started”. Next thing I knew when he was done with his answers, Kit Siang got up and asked the Speaker why aren’t supplementary questions allowed. The banter went on for a few minutes with Kinabatangan attempted to polish PM’s shoes and the Speaker trying to justify why supplementary questions were not allowed and Kit Siang raising his voice some more. It was amusing.
In the end PM got up and asked the Speaker to allow supplementary questions and the Speaker picked Marang’s Hadi Awang. Hadi went on with a loooong question and by then, the telecast ended at around 10.45am.
When it ended, we were all like, “Wtf! That’s it?”.
Screw it man, gimme the 90 minutes! :) Oh and MPs, watch out if you pick your nose, we can see that all on live TV :)

new genre on tv.. reality parliamentary drama. lol. but hey, as much as we make fun of them, they need us to believe in them for them to fully operate. you need as much faith in a chair to not fall when you sit on it, don’t you? give our leaders a chance, esp pak lah =)
