I thought I’d never live the day to say this but today, Lim Kit Siang earned my respect by standing up and speaking out for Raja Petra in Parliament! Now, that is what I call an MP for the people!
His sharp witted replies to KJ and Tajuddin Abdul Rahman are just absolutely priceless.
If you missed it, you can read about it in Malaysiakini.
Here’s an excerpt from Malaysiakini:
On one side was Lim Kit Siang (DAP-Ipoh Timur) who, in his speech debating on the royal address, criticised Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor for “abusing the laws” in allegedly getting Raja Petra to be charged for sedition.
Raja Petra, in his Internet posting entitled ‘Let’s send the Altantuya murderers to hell’, had implicated Najib and Rosmah in the high-profile murder case of Altantuya Shaariibuu, a Mongolian national.
Lim said the quick police action and subsequent prosecution smacked of an “orchestrated” effort and abuse of the laws and government machinery to punish Raja Petra.
“They (Najib and Rosmah) reserve the right to clear their names through the laws. So why have they used the government facilities to take action against Raja Petra Kamaruddin? This is the abuse of powers,” he said in his speech.
“There are other channels for the deputy prime minister and his family to take action against Raja Petra – to use civil action and litigation. Why choose sedition prosecution?” he asked.
“Why has the government machinery (in the form of the office of the) Attorney-General’s Chambers been used for this purpose? This is abuse of power! That is why we have to criticise this action against Raja Petra Kamaruddin in the harshest terms,” he added.
And the part against KJ which I find absolutely hilarious:
Lim earlier chastised Khairy Jamaluddin (BN-Rembau) who questioned him on the repetition of Raja Petra’s use of the word “hell”.
“Do you not agree that the only one to determine whether a person will go to heaven or hell is God and not for us to determine,” asked Khairy.
Lim, however, thundered back: “We are not talking of religion! This is an expression that those who murdered Altantuya should be punished to the full extent of the law! It’s not about going to heaven or hell.
“If even this one cannot understand, what is the point of graduating from Oxford? This is a disgrace to the university,” he said, upon which the whole house again descended into chaos as both sides went back to shouting at each other.
LOL!
This is really classic! Parliament will no longer be boring. Now, let’s move on to policy making fellas…err..no, not making, actually time for some destruction. Like destroying the stupid Sedition Act and ISA.

LOVELY…
Hi Mr. Lim keep the ball rolling and make sure that they don’t shift the goal posts when your opportunity to strike goals is there. I would’t have a second mind about voting DAP again for polls to come. Viva Lim Viva DAP……………………….
KJ,
You are a disgraced to Oxford University ! Whatever, your days as deputy UMNO youth is numbered and also as son in law of the P.M. is also numbered! You can’t keep using the non Malays as your punching bags for your political gains. So shut up !
Just shut up KJ.. Pack and go to elsewhere instead. I am sure when the Pakatan Rakyat takes over the Parlimen… you will know what you get…
“If even this one cannot understand, what is the point of graduating from Oxford? This is a disgrace to the university,”
This is the ‘Malaysian quote of the year’ unless another gem turns up
I wish ‘Cyclone Nargis’ hit our shore
In Parliament and change the landscape
So we don’t have to witness and listen
About BN MPs wanting to score points
Kampung folks always look highly on graduates
The simple folks always believe these people must be something
Walking out from the institution of higher learning
Oh I don’t have anything against graduates
I only take offense when they don’t articulate well
Else they talk nonsense when a yes or no will do……..
Now read what dpm said
About the opposing governments fulfilling promises
He thinks only BN can keep maintain pledges
He tells me how shallow he has been
He forgets so easily
BN is bad night
Like Count Dracula bleeding you dry
Promising you eternal life…………?
In the end you can’t stand the light
Of the hot sun penetrating into your life
You want to hide the truth
Immortality has a price
You lost the road to paradise
Look we want our MPs to fight for us
The rights of the people for all times
No covert self gratification………..
We don’t need vampires sucking us dry
When it’s a choice of jail over bail
The blogger’s brave guts we must hail
Though the path to full justice is no plain sail
We know ultimately truth and God’s justice will never fail

More on Kit Siang.
Mukhriz boasted that his father did well on clamping down on corruption, among others, DSAI was charged wioth abuse of power.
And came LKS reply: ” Itu satu sen pun tak da, apa corruption?”
Another good one here.
When LKS referred Khairy as “the richest unemployed man”, Khairy stood up to object without permission.
Then came LKS reply; “This is not the fourth floor”
Like a true veteran politician, someone should do a “quotable quotes” on bro LKS.
Nimkapoot KJ
Oxford University will never be the same again
Lets not waste our money sending our kids there. We have a bad example here in msia.
Nice post, wonder if other rakyat feel the same.
I shall publish an extract of this post in my website http://mylivingwall.com
and link back to you weblog for readers to read in full.
Thank you.

Mana datangnya ini Si-Failure of Oxford? Bahasa simple macam ini pun dia tak faham, malu betul jadi MP. Even, budak primary school pun faham. Disgrace for the Parliament, your lecturers from Oxford for acceptting as their student and also your wife nonetheless your parent.
BRAVO LKS! Your voice have just beginning to bring up justice to Malaysia! Keep momentum! All DAP supporters are proud of you so as your new coming supporters.
Hope the others Oppositions leaders will follow your actions in Bravery to Justice and SPEAK OUT LOUD!
“Real Gold is never afraid of Fire!” “The Righteous will Never afraid of Ghost in the middle of the Night.”
Good Bless All Brave and Righteous MP in Oppositions Party!
If there are some righteous fellow MPs in BN please follow the right path and do not hyprocrite yourself anymore! Remember the cause and effect of Bad Karma.
Long live LKS and the righteous ones!
BTW, all this thing about S-I-L being an Oxford grad, but did it occur to anyone that,
– did he actually scored straight A’s and applied to be admitted there,
- or that his admission was given on a silver platter?
Hmm, points to ponder.
OMG Lim Kit Siang is my idol now!
So, at the end of the day did KJ go home crying foul to his FIL??
Did his sleepy FIL send KJ to see what his explosive DPM can arrange?
I mean “explosive” in terms of vocal parliamentary debating style, not the other type. What were you thinking?
Wouldn’t I love to be the fly on the wall. Hehehehe
tomatoinc: exactly!
maverick: I am sure many others think so too!
m.h.wong: ahhhh…if he had learned to shut up, we wouldn’t have this gem of a phrase from LKS, would we?
bruce lee: we are all just waiting for the day that he gets the just treatment he deserve
ididnotgotou: yep, a real definite gem!
caravanserai: daylight will one day destroy them all
samuel: I hope so too
Laliloo: LOL. Those are really great quotes from LKS!
Hmm…I did seriously wonder about how he got into Oxford…
Victor: He is the idol of a lot of Malaysians!
Engineer: ahhh…but then these people makan cili rasa pedas ma so even figurative speech they can take literally because of guilt!
Wouldn’t we all love to be the fly on the wall?
