Kinabatangan: The Ultimate Gentleman In Parliament

July 9, 2008

This is going to be a short post, as pictures and videos say a thousand words.

Yesterday, I was reading Malaysiakini when it was reported that Kinabatangan MP, Bung Mokhtar Radin was caught on RTM1 making an obscene gesture during the live television broadcast.

As usual, Bung has denied doing anything wrong, saying that he did not make the said obscene gesture (the typical palm to fist gesture). Instead, he showed reporters the gesture he was actually making:

Bung Mokhtar admitted he was angry when the opposition members provoked him by calling him bodoh.

Chow Kon Yeow (DAP-Tanjung) had earlier said that Bung Mokhtar did not know how to count as there were more opposition MPs than BN backbenchers in the Dewan at that time.

This was following a protest by Bung Mokhtar over the mileage being given to the opposition as responses to their questions were being aired live over RTM.

Asked what he meant with his gesture, Bung Mokhtar said: “I was angry with him, I make like that (hand gesture again). He called me bodoh, I say you bodoh too.”

When told that a lot of people who watched the incident on live television saw it as a lewd gesture, he said: “No, I don’t know what is their interpretation but it was nothing for me, I (just gestured) like that (hand gesture).”

The Chinese will call that the “waterfish” (水鱼) gesture. Well, like they say, let the video do the talking. (Thanks to The People’s Parliament for showing the video)
