In my earlier posting I wrote about the idiotic and nonsensical statements uttered by our Ministers and parliamentarians ... I thought it would stop there but it seems to be a contagious though.
A few days ago, a picture of a certain Minister having dinner in Sabah went viral . There's nothing wrong having a dinner with the "rakyat" but what's wrong was one of the menu was reported to be "telur penyu" ... Turtles being an endangered species is protected under the law so is the "telur" ... Common sense will tell you that "penyu bertelur dan telurnya menetas menjadi anak penyu" therefore the eggs are also protected under the law. I dare say even a primary school kid knows about this.
However not this particular Minister ... when asked by reporter he said he was not aware that "telur penyu" was served at the dinner which he attended. He even said I did not eat the 'telur penyu" ... If I were to be him, I would stop at that but he chose to entertain us further with his stand up comedy. His last statement was he did not aware there was a law prohibiting the consumption of "telur penyu" ... Aduiiii!!! he might have been over exposed to the program "Maharaja Lawak" over Astro or worst still he might be planning to be a contender in that program when he lost in the next GE!!! talk about contingency plan.
It is sad to note that a Minister at that could came up with such idiotic and unacceptable statement. Being an ex Agricultural Minister, he should know better if not being a Parliamentarian who happened to be the first layer in debating and passing the law in Parliament. If he cares to ask any folk in Bera, Pahang which is his constituency, he will get an answer ... Today I read in the news of a Deputy Minister of Sabah State Government defending this Federal Minister by saying that most probably the "telur penyu" was brought in by outsider ... Malay proverbs aptly describe this as "Sokong membawa rebah" or " Pandai tak dapat ditegur, bodoh tak dapat diajar" ... Typical of us always bend towards conspiracy theories...
If this is the type of Minister we Malaysians have to endure with in governing our country of 26 million "rakyat" I dread to think of what might become of our country in the future not to mention the poor turtles!!! I wonder whether there is a specific requirements being put up by Putrajaya for being a Minister or a Parliamentarian i.e. he/she must be able to come up with at least 1 or 2 idiotic statements in a month. Judging by what had been uttered by these comedians, that is being the case...
I just do not know whether I want to cry or to laugh every time such incident occurred ... to the people of Bera, congratulations for your votes ... at least, we Malaysians had been entertained by your representative. To the Minister, please read this aloud "ignorance of the law is not a defense ..."
Till we meet again and please spare Malaysians from this continuous horrific state of affair ....
