One day in Malaysia parliament…

Barisan Nasional backbencher Bung Mokhtar Radin (BN-Kinabatangan) is said to have made an obscene gesture in the Dewan Rakyat today that was caught on the ‘live’ television broadcast - but he denies it.

Bung Mokhtar told TheSun outside the House that he did not make the gesture, described as the ‘palm hitting a clenched fist’.

MP of Kinabatangan Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin said that “It was not a bad sign- i was just showing like this only” during Dewan Rakyat sitting at Parliament House.

Yeaaahhh~~~ Riiiggghhhttt~~~

Who knows, the next day, this YouTube clip surfaced - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxy7ji65K0o

And then this…

Bung Mokhtar Radin (Kinabatangan-BN) today did a U-turn, admitting that he had made an obscene gesture in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday during a dispute with some Pakatan Rakyat MPs.

Yes, I did it, but it (the gesture) is not what it means. Everybody has their own perception and it is not rude and it is not what people think it is,” he said when met in the Parliament lobby.

And since the gesture is not considered rude for him, perhaps everyone, especially the rakyat, should show him the gesture whenever and wherever we see him, and to his family too. I wonder if his fellow members from his party would agree with him and thus we can show all of them the same gesture.

Come to think of it, maybe this poor sod had been shown the same gesture eversince his pathetic childhood, from his parents, relatives as well as close friends and party members, five times a day. They might have placed their clenched fist on his head and hit it with the palm of the other hand. It would then followed by him attempting to relocate his jaw by knocking his chin up a few times, also to counteract the stupidity bestowed upon him.

So much for a member of parliament…
