Let us look at one example of Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman’s “style of politics” in Parliament. He once made a crude “joke” about an Opposition woman MP’s name which was greeted with much hilarity by his party’s MPs, both male and female. The Speakers keep saying things like “Yang Berhormat, tolong tarik balik, Yang Berhormat (sir, please retract, sir)”. No wonder the likes of Tajuddin can still speak like this in Malaysia’s Parliament. Thirdly, I want to ask non-Malay MPs why they kept quiet when Tajuddin clearly made a racist joke using the woman MP’s Chinese name.
