Why la Khairy and Datuk Peter....
Haih, I gave the guy some points and he goes and brands an entire political party as the Gigantic Pig Project, or Projek Khinzir Raksasa, PKR.
Amazing, just amazing, Khairy. Goes to show if you give a fellow enough rope, they decide to tie a noose and hang themselves. Oh well.
But then I know why Khairy did what he did. He was countering Azmin Ali from Gombak, who likened the initials of PKR to the acronym for UK's Public Interest Disclosure Act of 1998, or in Malay, Akta Perlindungan Kepentingan Rakyat, PKR.
Honestly, I think Khairy's just pissed because of Azmin's reply that if Selangor, Kedah, Penang and Perak were to declassify state documents, BN and UMNO would suffer.
This was on the 8th of May 2008, and it is in the parliament review.
Thus the war over acronyms. That's just fine in Parliament. After all, the PKR is leading the state of Selangor which is centralizing their pig farming activities.
A potshot, but not below the belt.
And then there was a guffaw that led to another riot in Parliament, when Datuk Peter Chin Fah Kui accidentally said that orangutans "were not found in Malaysia, but mostly focused in Sabah and Sarawak".
Haih...and he's from Bintulu, right?
Well, you know how the Opposition reacted to that. They literally saw blood and went for the jugular, stating that we shouldn't separate Sabah and Sarawak from Malaysia.
At least Datuk Peter Chin had the guts to admit the mistake and change it to Peninsular Malaysia instead.
