    Title : Sorry no cure
    Time : 8:53 pm

    Headline of The Star today: MPs say sorry

    Nine days after they made their “bocor (leak)” remarks that led to an uproar among women’s groups, the two Members of Parliament finally made a formal apology to all Malaysian women.

    Read the full article

    I was disgusted when I first heard that McPs reared their ugly heads yet again but a wonky router prevented me from blogging about it.

    Now reading their statements, I feel even more repulsed when the two MPs try to add on a smoke screen by saying the opposition are playing up on the issue and that they were reacting to provocation by the opposition.

    "I don't deny that some of us do use disrespectful or crude words to counter the Opposition's arguments, especially when it touches on the Government's credibility"- Jasin MP

    Well, it IS a fact that there are godknowshowmany leaks in the Parliament now. And what? they plan to use RM22million just for checking on the leaks?? One can only surmise how much actual renovations will cost.

    Then both of them try to negate their actions by listing out instances where they help/support womens groups. That's just hypocrisy man. It's as if they're fishing for sympathy points.

    McP statements

    Sometimes it's just so disheartening to read the papers. The last time I came back home, I remembered the uproar caused by some bonehead filming up a journalist's skirt and another McP blaming it on the woman's dressing.
    As for the bocor issue, few days ago they even refused to apologise, the damage has been done. They have sent out the message that it is okay to verbally assault and belittle women, who cares if the person is of opposition or not. Now, I agree with the opposition MP that the apology just sounds forced. Did they need to take nine freaking days to take action? In fact, I foresee this will just be a vicious cycle, unless some severe punishment is meted out to these McPs, how can they just mouth off and expect an apology will be sufficient? It's like... swearing in church then asking God to forgive your sins? I don't know, I suck at analogies.
