In every circus you have a clowns and jesters and thanks to political immaturity and a suspect selection process for political appointments in Malaysia, we have one in Parliament - the Jerai MP, Badruddin Amiruddin.

If such individuals and those who condone such behavior continue in political office, there will be further erosion of the image and credibility of the multi-racial Barisan Nasional government.

In the interest of interparty cordiality and fellowship, it is pertinent that Prime Minister and Barisan Nasional chairman Abdullah Ahmad Badawi removes such individuals from political office.
