One of Malaysian opposition's parliament member made a fuss about the use of national language at Parliament, yesterday. The needless 'debate' about it can be watched at Youtube. After over than five decades of independent, apparently there some of our parliament members still don't get the meaning of Malay language as an official language.
The fuse were about so called inconsistencies between Article 152 on national language and Article 161 on permission to the members from Sabah and Sarawak natives for using English language.
Dewan Rakyat's speaker, Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia as reported in NST today, reminded that the use of national language at Parliament must be respected and all of the members were bound by the Standing Orders which states bahasa Melayu as the house's offical language.
So Pandikar made a clear about that claim. And for that opposition's parliament member, may be he should remember there is a English phrase that said, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should."
