Malaysian Parliament X-Rated

i’m sorry, but what is ‘keling’? and why are the oppositions jumping on the bandwagon because that particular MP uttered that word?

‘Keling’ is claimed by certain people as a derogatory slang term for Indians or Hindu in Malaysia[1] and Singapore (more specially, Malaysian Indians and Singaporean Indians. The term was wrongly believed to be originated from the term used to describe migrants from India who came in chains from the Andaman Islands as laborers.[citation needed]. In truth the word keling was already used by Malays referring to people originating from Indian subcontinent. India was then referred as as “benua keling”. Sejarah Melayu(Annals of Malay history) written in 15th century used the term keling and traces origin of Malay sultans to India. There is no sign that this term used in derogatory way then. The origin of this term is rooted in influence of Kalinga kingdom over south east Asian kingdoms culturally and economically in the past. – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keling

Now I do know that the word used by the MP was intended as a deragatory remark, but could’nt the opposition man-up and argue on something based purely on facts?

We are malaysians for how many generations now? and yet we still associate ourselves to such remarks and cause an arguement over such trivial matters

the BN goons, is a hopeless battle mate..

But the oppositions too? this is what actually saddens me

I think Sam / Asir and Kash, is a person who like like talk without knowing about other racial and the true historic reaoson why Indian do not like, when people call them “kelling”. As we all know, that the historic of Kingdom of Kaligam and how Kalingam Kingdom came to end. The why indians do now like when anyone calls the kelling. In another word in true tamil scrip “kelling” is “shit”.It is not good to call people like That is parliment. A true dicipline MPs will use “Bahasa Istana” Royal Language in the parliment becouse that is the parliment rules.
Some of the MPs such as YB.Tajuddin,YB.Zaid and YB.Kairy use unparlimentary words such as kelling,bodoh,beruk and ect, which not parlimentary words. In my personal oppinion, next time before a election done, a should go for a seminar where, they can learn “Bahasa Istana”"Royal Language”, Behaviour\Good Attitude and Parlimentary Debat rules.tq
