I am appalling to read a news of current parliament section yesterday online. The root of news began on one online article entitled "is parliament above the law?" by Dr Sate Phwar who is most likely to be alien name. Nowadays, people can easily access internet and express their feelings or opinion freely online through social media website like Facebook. Amid a lot unsettled problems existing, one MP pointed out said incident and urged fellow MPs to consider as an important matter to be solved out by setting a commission to claw the author out. It became bad to worse when most of MP agreed with his proposal and continue to proceed as the voting result showed green light. I see it nothing but wasting time.
Time is limited and we are already far behind other countries following few decade military rules. Understandable baby stage democratic government will make inevitably some mistakes as they are lacking necessary experience in debating matters that affect people and country. As a layman, I can imagine there are ton of cases that matter most to our people and nation. MP are supposed to highlight people's plight and draw attention from authority for necessary action. As a republic, people are really powerful to set up government and if MP continue to ignore their wills, they need not compete in next general election. I am sure holding parliament will consume a lot public funds because it need a lot preparation to make meeting smooth. It come heavy cost by the expense of tax payers. As such, they shouldn't waste time in parliament as it is expensive. It is understandable if a handful of MP are ineffective. But yesterday one is upsetting because most of MP agreed with proposal which is very minor. It show lack of human capacity within ruling party and people will make sure not to repeat same mistake by voting them in next election.
May our MP able to spend precious time meaningfully by debating things that matter most to our people.
