Honour Thy Monkeys ?
The term, MP, stands for Member of Parliment. But of late, some of the members of Parliament in Malaysia would like to define themselves as Monkeys of Parliament ! Maybe the parliament should allocated some funds to hire monkey trainers from the circus to train these monkeys on human culture. On second thought, forget it. It would be a sheer waste of public funds resorting to train monkeys to behave like humans.
How can a nation gain respect when the elected MP's resort to hitting each other with crude languages and foul manners to degrade the dignity of the Parliament. As a citizen of this beloved Malaysia, I watched in embarrassment the crude languages used by some of these monkeys. Derogatory terms are being used such as calling the opposition leader as “Ah Pek”, calling the Malaysian of Indian origin as “Keling”, calling another MP as “monkey”, etc… All these languages are being used in the highest legislative Parliment by some MP without shame and decorum. Such disrespects to the institution of parliament has been demonstrated by these elected legislators. What else can be expected from the regulatory agencies enacted by the parliament ? monkeys see monkeys do. When these doctrines are filtered down to the grass roots, what we get is the mentalities of See no evil, Hear no evil, speak no evil, and do no evil.
Maybe Charles Darwin was right. Some humans do evolved from monkeys. And due to environmental influences, some have retarded evolution – their brains evolutions stopped at the monkey’s level. Putting these monkeys back into the jungle, you will see them enjoying themselves swinging from tree to tree shouting at each others.
Maybe we should pay these MP allowances in kinds rather than cash – banana and peanuts. Sometimes, when I visit the zoo looking at the monkeys I do get very confused wondering whether these monkeys are actually monkeys or legislative monkeys. Because they do walk upright on two legs.
I need to go for my coffee break now. Any monkeys out there know how to appreciate really black coffee ? Never mind, I doubt the monkeys are cultured enough to sip coffee. Nevertheless, if some monkeys insist on coming along, they can have my banana….

At MP Zoo, there was a shortage of monkeys. Humans in monkey-costumes were paid to be monkeys, but there were monkeys who felt that it is only fair to do more 'monkey-acts' afterall they get paid for being monkeys.
