We expected better behavior.

I wanted to write something that would be beneficial to the readers. At least wanted to try. So I have many already written but yet to be posted articles.

"Opposition flexes muscles as Parliament descends into chaos" - Malaysia today headline.

But I have to write about the darn politicians.
What happened in the eagerly waited 12th Parliament Session's first day made me to ask a few questions?
PRU 12 is hailed as the turning point of our beloved country's political scene.

What turning point?
The enlightened 'rakyat' showed maturity electing a strong opposition. These distinguished legislators are showing their real colour and not their maturity. They fell to the ruling party's ploy.
Are they so naive?
Televised question-time will turn into similar chaos.
The public voted in men and women from many different fields. We expect better judgment and provocative behavior. Not aggressiveness. It takes two to tango.

We need to show good behavior and be example to our kids. The corruption, improper behavior and intolerance shown by the politicians will bring long lasting effect on the children.

Look at the growing trend among the school going children. Many are not interested in studies. The have little respect for their teachers. The list goes on and on.

The education ministry is attempting to solve the problems. Many teachers feel that the problem is the remedies are targeted at the wrong place. It is not the school alone that is causing the problem. We should attack the problem at the source.
Are we attacking the correct source?
One of the sources is the politicians. Today's parliament session is an example of disregard for the law and rules.
