The Circus Has Returned To Town (Parliament)

Legislative assemblies everywhere are more like circuses than august houses, with the Singapore Parliament maybe the rare exception.

In the Bolehland case, it is business as usual.

With the unprecedented replacement of a sitting Speaker for no other reason than that the Moo's backdoor government says there is another choice (their's ie) with a man once respected (but doubtful now?) the circus has started with an MP who is apparently going blind in the eye that he could not see a fellow MP for her colour hahaha

The joke is that the MP's colour is the same as the one whom he says he could not see because of her colour.

And all that the new Speaker could say was that he hoped there would not be any more sexist remarks in Parliament?

One would have thought that 'colour' relates to race and 'sexist' refers to sex.

But what does one know?

In Bolehland, we see what we want to see and hear what we want to hear.

Or maybe not.

Because in the Land of Endless Possibilities, there are endless permutations all equally right and all equally wrong or all equally mixed like rojak hahaha and indistinguishable.

'Colour' here, in the context of the person spoken to, being a member of the fairer sex, and in the light of the history of the unsavoury and clearly sexist remarks uttered gratuitously in Parliamentary sittings against MPs of the fairer sex, connotes sex, too, no?

And in the context of the 'blind' MP telling his fellow MP to use powder to enable visibility, the Speaker might be right!

Foresightful and fair enough though, I must admit, hehehe

Welcome!
