Hooliganism, their trade mark
I just cannot imagine how the guards at the entrance to the Parliament could have allowed a group of hooligans to come into the compound of the august Parliament, the symbol of democracy which is the revered institution in our beloved Nation. If we are mindful of the recent address by the King on his sadness to see the unparliamentary behaviour of our MP's, then nobody seemed to care what happened outside the building. For the bunch of idiots who seemed to have nothing better to do than to confront a wheel-chair bound elderly vocal politician by the roadside is a reflection of their mentors who claimed to govern this Nation within the realm of the Federal Constitution. No matter how provocative Karpal's statement in Parliament had been, there's no excuse for these hooligans to act in the despicable manner and people who are sensible should condemn their utter disrespect towards the institutions of democracy. Those responsible in guarding the sanctity of the area within the compound of the Parliament House must take the rap for this lapse in security.
