I refer to malaysiakini report 'Bloodshed' in Parliament .

We are disappointed that the august House had been turned into an abattoir to end the lives of the animals to feed the MPs. With no offence to the newly-wedded couple, such an act was abhorrent in a place we hold dearly as the highest lawmaking body in Malaysia.

The reply from the speaker of House on the incident was very degrading and he shouldn't allow such things to happen in the first place. He easily abdicated his responsibility. Secondly, the Backbenchers Club acting chairman's remark to the press was sarcastic and arrogant.

If the MPs and the Parliament officials want to give a party to the couple, by all means rent a hall or ballroom for the function. Parliament is not your everyday building where you can do what you like.

It seems that in the post-Mahathir era, some of the MPs act like loose cannons without any control and everybody makes decisions by themselves just to try and please Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

We are also upset that none of the BN MPs of Hindu, Buddhist faiths and other concerned MPs didn't voice the displeasure over such an act which was very demeaning. We don't mind if the slaughter was done at a 'surau', mosque or someone's house as it would have been a private matter.

But not in a public institution like the Parliament. It is time for Pak Lah to rein in the BN representatives before they do more damage to the image of the BN coalition. The 'rakyat' are becoming more conscious of what is happening around them.
