IT was two weddings and a funeral for Education Minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid in his Padang Terap parliamentary constituency. His original schedule was to attend a wedding reception at Kampung Keda Semeliang at 12.30pm on a Saturday last month. This is his routine as Padang Terap MP or when he was assemblyman for Pedu (a seat in his parliamentary constituency that he won in 2004). At 1.19pm, the Education Minister arrived at the kenduri kahwin of Lerda Roslaily Ibrahim, a 21-year-old factory worker in Penang, and Rahimi Md Rashid, a 28-year-old self-employed man. He was rushing to another kenduri kahwin at Kampung Padang Setol about 15km away.
