As far as I am concerned, I am not bothered whether the Malaysian Parliament comprises of 222 MPs or 89 opposition MPs and 133 government MPs. To me, all 222 MPs are representatives of the people who have been voted into office by the people. Hence they answer to the people and not to their respective parties
As what we used to say back in the days of the Reformasi Movement 15 years ago: suara rakyat, suara keramat. And that means the people’s voice is sacred. And if our 222 MPs do not understand this then they do not deserve our support.
As what Cameron said, "It is clear to me that the British parliament, reflecting the views of the British people, does not want to see British military action. I get that, and the government will act accordingly."
Will I ever see the day when Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak will say, “It is clear to me that the Malaysian parliament, reflecting the views of the Malaysian people, does not want to see (fill in the blanks here). I get that, and the government will act accordingly."
THE SAME THING GOES FOR OUR AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT, BOTH STATES AND COMMONWEALTH. IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER THEY ARE THE LIBERALS, LABOR OR THE GREEN PARTY ETC. THEY MUST WORK FOR THE PEOPLE AND NOT FOR THE PARTY TO FEATHER THEIR OWN NESTS. THEY MUST RESPOND TO THE WILL OF THE SOVEREIGN PEOPLE OF AUSTRALIA.
OUR PRIME MINISTER SHOULD SAY: THE AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENTS BOTH STATE AND FEDERAL REFLECTS THE WILL OF THE SOVEREIGN PEOPLE OF AUSTRALIA. I AS THE PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA OR THE STATE PREMIER CAN GET THAT AND ACT ACCORDINGLY.
