Speaking at the Parliament
May 13th, 2008 by Tian

I am sitting in the Dewan Rakyat waiting for my turn to speak. Now Tenggara MP is speaking.
Earlier we heard backbencher MPs from Sabah, as well as Semanjung, all delivered their fiery speeches, lashing at BN Government.
I wonder BN backbenchers are trying to take over the role of the opposition. Yesterday Sabahan MPs criticized the Central Government for neglecting Sabah. Kalabakan MP Ghafur Salleh hit at the PM for a cabinet that failed to reflect the aspiration of Sabahans. He described PM’s action of giving “menteri jaga museum” to Sabahans as an insult.
We can really sense the changing of time. Although a small group of MPs still stubborn and defend BN at all cost.
I will be speaking by citing: “Baru-baru ini seorang anak gadis yang tidak berdosa telah meninggal dunia kerana cita-cita seorang menteri menguasai agenda politik masa depan negara…”
I will also mention Rustam Sani. Before his death, he repeatedly told his family members that was excited with the political change and was waiting eager to hear the debate by the new MPs of Reformasi era.
I am still waiting for my turn. Tonight the parliament will continue until all MPs delivered their speeches on thanking the King.
Would you please consider the followings:
- National Training be scrapped in view of so many casualty
- PM and head of
states’s terms be limited to say 2 terms or 10 years
-Advise Pakatan leaders in particular those from Dap, Lim Guan Eng
& Karpal Singh from making ’sensitive statements’ as these may
subject to attack by UMNO
-Was the 1998 Sukom Bhd accounts ever finalised & submitted
to authority? Hishamudin was in charge then
-Pakatan should actively recruit members & set up branches even
in constituencies not won by Pakatan. Strenghtening the base
will help Pakatan in next election
Tian Chua, we love you. Whack them nicely.
All the best from my gang in Taman Mastiara Jalan Ipoh
Hi there Tian Chua,
Just happened to chance on your site. As one of the more outspoken Chinese politicians, I’ve been wanting to thank you for speaking up and demonstrating for the rest of us. Time and time again, we hear of you getting detained. Your resolve and selflessness to embetter our nation is a trait sorely lacking in our community, whose only interests, sad to say, lie in who has the bigger house and faster car.
Malaysia is the only home we love and know. Thanks to people like yourself, history will not judge us as locusts that move on after they’ve bled the place dry.
Dear YB Tian Chua.
Pls support MP’s from Sabah & Sarawak in attacking BN goverment in making this two states as stepchild-BN Goverment still do not listen to them after 7 days parliment sitting and after 50 years of independent.
Tell those MP’s in parliment that PR Goverment will take care of their people in this 2 states-promise.
Hi YB TC,
Good day.Thank you for winning in the general elections and i still find it amusing that you are part of the house which you were denied entry off not long ago! Like you many new Mp’s are now sitting there and trying to make their presence felt and make a genuine change for the people. Dont burn out yet and i pray that pr wont be just a pr exercise but the real deal!
To a Bangsa Malaysia!
A very happy evening YB Chua.
I am sure you will be very excited to make your maiden speech later in the night. You had mentioned that MPs from BN are also lashing out at BN. It’s good for these MPs to continue following their heart, allowed to be ruled by their heart and rise to the occassion soon. Even though the late Rustam Sani is not able to hear the fiery debate, rest assured he will be equally pleased with what is going on. Meanwhile, happy waiting!
Dear Tian Chua,
I know you are busy in P sessions. Thank-you and please be outspoken in times like these. We need all the wise but “thick-skinned”‘ people. I sokong you and the PKR and DAP etc. Please let me know how I can contact you as I have a good plan to share on how to eradicate poverty in your constituency; at least some plan that is workable for all the races in Batu Constituency. I am serious. Please give me your contact number or your PA’s in order to arrange for a meeting. Thanks.
YB, please dun get near najis and silly, they are smelly, sinful and hairy – I saw one picture in the Parliment weeks ago ; looks like Beauty and the beast.
Whenever YB got the chance, just throw them sharp questions from your heart sincerely and assertively. You can sure do it stronger than Dynamo, Daia, Mr Muscle and Dobi.
Many MPs are worry about your move. They are also secretly respecting you !!! You are a man of rightedness that cannot never be fool with.
YB, please do the needful soonest possible. We have no time to loose.
YB Tian Chua, we like your polite and resolved debating style. Even some BN politicians acknowledged that tribute. For better or worse there should be quite a number of MPs from Sabah and Sarawak waiting for their turns to speak up. Are they potential allies or foes?
Hi TC,
I was totally appalled by the insulting and abusive acroyms created and other name-callings in Parliament – supposedly a sacred place for a first class debate, from both sides of the house. People were not amused by such ‘pasar-malam’ scenario as what they would like to see is a more meaningful debate on policy matters.
The east Malaysia MP’s have the right to raise their voices as they had been short-changed for their oil revenues, that applies to Trengganu state too, as what actually happened to the 5% return of the oil revenues they produced to the state for the last 8 years, as compared to the 30% return promised by PKR, is still very much a mystery on which a Phd. researcher could write a thesis.
Keep it uo TC, as you may be the first timer in Parliament but no virgin in politics, ha ha!
