(The Star) KUALA LUMPUR: The rakyat is tired of seeing antics such as Monday’s fracas in Parliament, in which several Opposition MPs were ejected.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said the public did not want to see such antics from their elected representatives.

“They want to see us move forward and debate issues in a mature way. They don’t want to see antics that tarnish the image of this House.

“I hope contributions by the Opposition would be more meaningful and helpful to bring about changes and strengthen what needs to be done under the Prime Minister’s vision,” he told reporters in the Parliament lobby here yesterday.

Hishammuddin said if Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia had not been strict in ordering the MPs out, the whole incident would have dragged on.

He said although he had instructed police to maintain security outside the Parliament building, they could not stop Pakatan Rakyat supporters from wearing the headbands.

“Otherwise, we would be accused of abuse of power,” he said, adding that the police were ready to help with Parliament security upon request from the Speaker.

Several backbenchers took the opportunity to raise the matter in the House with both Pulai MP Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed and Sri Gading MP Mohamad Aziz accusing the Opposition of having “tarnished the image of the country” in their supplementary questions to Deputy Foreign Minister A. Kohilan Pillay.

In his reply, Kohilan said he agreed and was saddened by the fracas.

Its call freedom of expression! Loud and clear. It was peaceful until BN MPs turn it into a circus. So don't blame the opposition. Maybe BN MPs should revisit their oath and uphold the constitution.

Quoting the Krismuddin

He said although he had instructed police to maintain security outside the Parliament building, they could not stop Pakatan Rakyat supporters from wearing the headbands.

“Otherwise, we would be accused of abuse of power,” he said, adding that the police were ready to help with Parliament security upon request from the Speaker.

Maybe Krismuddin want to explain....

'Police nothing but a big bully'
... explain why the 100 police reports made by Umno Youth against Karpal Singh did ... members holding demonstrations without any permits, barging into the august Parliament to manhandle

Please define "The Public" dear home minister, are you speaking in general terms or just BN supporters ?
What you speak of is hardly tarnishing our country's image compared to:-

Tajudin called Kulasegaran “keling’’ and “bloody bastard”,. Several minutes later, he also labeled PKR’s Azmin Ali as a “biol” (dumb).

The likes of Tajudin Rahman and before him, Datuk Badruddin Amiruddin, Bung Mokhtar Radin and Mohd Said Yusof have shamed the House with outrageous remarks with the conviction that they will be untouched by any sanction or rebuke.
On the other hand opposition MP's are rebuked and sent out of the August House in some cases without rhyme and reason.

I can site tons of such incidents-rude , crude obnoxious and even sexist remarks, in fact many can be found in the Parliament's hansard and in Amir Muhammad's Malaysian Politicians say the the darndest things -series.
The fracas would not happen if the speaker was impartial and allowed legitimate dissent.
This stems from the fact that BN is ill prepared to deal with such a large opposition presence in parliament, all this while BN could just shout down
a dozen or so opposition MP's, now there are over 80 so BN is in siege mode.
So please spare us the public is "fed up" talk Mr.Home Minister, don't forget that the larger than ever opposition presence is
because THE RAKYAT IS FED UP WITH BN AND PUT THEM THERE.

Hishamduin,

Why don't you prove that the Rakyat are fed up with the Opposition? If you are truly convinced, why don't you ask your UMNO/BN to dissolve the Perak Assembly and hold fresh elections? UMNO/BN can prove beyond any doubt that the Rakyat are with them. If what you say is true, the Perakian, being fed up with the Opposition, would vote against them, and UMNO/BN can rule Perak legitimately .

Better still, why not bring forward the GE for the whole country. If the rakyat are fed up with the Opposition, they will reject Pakatan and give UMNO/BN a huge mandate and give them the 2/3 majority.

Are you bold enough to stand by your statements? Is your UMNO bold enough to show that the people are with them? Alas, you and UMNO/BN are nothing but cowards who can only utter lies and rubbish. As for you, you have repeatedly proven that you are a stuid coward when you pulled out the keris and threatened the Chinese in UMNO Youth assemblies. If you are a man, try pulling out the keris and threaten us when meeting us. You are a not only a coward but a lier and a total disgrace. You have disgraced the noble family you come from.
