Seems to me that the BN MPs have caught a severe case of the jitters as 16 September approaches.
So it’s just as well they are planning a long vacation, err, I mean lawatan sambil belajar.
As blogger Susan Loone says, now we get to experience what the country is like without a bunch of BN MPs.
Their sudden interest in agriculture is a laugh. Najib says it’s gonna be a constructive trip. Right.
This excerpt from a Sun report:
According to a news report yesterday which quoted club chairman Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing, the 12-day trip had nothing to do with the possibility of BN MPs crossing over to Pakatan Rakyat by Sept 16.
The trip, said the report, will take the MPs to various parts of China to study the agriculture centres there. The club’s agriculture committee chairman Datuk Ismail Kassim was also quoted as saying that more than 50 MPs had signed up for the trip while 85% of MPs from Sabah and Sarawak had committed themselves.
He said MPs had to bear their own expenses and participation was on a voluntary basis.
Pity they missed the Olympics. And wonder why they feel more MPs from Sabah and Sarawak need exposure to agriculture compared to peninsula MPs….
This afternoon, the country was again awash with rumours. I myself got two phone calls asking me if it was true that BN component parties were holding meetings at 3.00pm to consider pulling out of the BN.
Meanwhile, Samy Vellu (Gosh! I thought we already bade farewell to him) has come under the spotlight for the land that was meant for a Tamil school, Gerakan for an alleged land grab, and of course Ahmad Ismail and Penang Umno defying the PM. It must be reassuring for them to know that now everyone can fly – not just MPs!
Some handy travel tips:
- Choose a reliable travel agent and remember, there are usually attractive discounts for block bookings.
- Book in advance for the best discounts; if you make your reservations too close to your intended departure date, the fare will be less attractive and there is no guarantee seats will be available; so plan ahead and don’t leave things till the last moment.
- Remember to hand in your passport ahead of time for safe-keeping.
- Make sure you don’t run into visa problems, in case you need to extend your stay while you are abroad due to unforeseen circumstances. In case of emergency, contact the nearest embassy for assistance.
- Make sure you have enough cash with you to last the trip plus a little extra; but read all airport signboards carefully so that you don’t exceed the permissible amount that you are allowed to carry in currency notes. Seek assistance if you don’t understand the language displayed on airport signboards.
- Make yourself aware of local cultural sensitivities e.g. Mongolia.

MPs going for boot camp?
BN MPs seem going for it
Wasting public funding
On study to better equip to ask
In Parliament……….?
Agriculture methods
Ask our local experts
They are so many around
In Universities and companies
Ask them to conduct courses
3 or 4 days seminar
It saves cost and time
BN always like to waste public funds
All those years ago they don’t learn do they?
Giving excuses………..
BN/UMNO afraid to lose its grip of power
The days are coming
Don’t postpone the inevitable
It will surely come
The misuse of power and authority
The racial bashing by the UMNO leaders
Just want to score political points
For their own political survival
At the expense of the country’s stability
Learn to live with the other races
Learn within the country experts
Call in the experts to teach you
It is much cheaper than going overseas
More like to party and enjoy
As it happens in previous years
Stop the nonsense
Wake up face the truth
The marching is arising
The new light for the people
There is no way
BN/UMNO can hide
See the truth
It is written on the ground

I would request all the MPs to present their study trip report at Parliment to all rakyat! Apparently our … leader is useless. Usually, company will try to avoid letting all key persons to fly together. What if the plane crash? Malaysia will have another MEGA by-election?
“Study trip on agri??”, please lah..badawi. I have seen you gave speech in Japan few years ago, talking on agri. We must learn form Japan, blah, blah….But till now, what had you done? I can’t see anything. Worst thing is these … can say “10-year DNA is too old to be used”.
you are brainless and seperti katak di bawah tempurung.

Hi Anil,
Please get someone to inform Badawi or Najib about the MPs wives. Obviously they have forgotten about them for their ‘buying trip’. Let Rosmah be the ‘tour leader’.

Of cos, we know the real real reason for this exodus of BN MPs… the magic date 916, as in 916 Gold. Sure, they go about on denial mode, but let s just ask them….
1) why suddenly so many 80 over MPs need to go learn about agriculture? is our country going back to agro-based economy? is the agri minister included? and why not? why the other 1/3 opposition MPs not included, sure they also need to learn bout agri since it looked so important?
2) during this holy month of ramadan, better they go for some religious retreat or courses, so when they come back, they’ll really know what is wrong and what is right eg. cannot be corrupted, cannot discriminate others etc…
3) are they going for a hari raya shopping spree overseas.. just to please them all.
OR lastly,
4) are they going for some kind of Boot Camp??
ponder on them, fellow malaysians.

They cannot afford elsewhere except for MONGOLIA! The inner part, of course. Plenty of land, not for re-planting, but for planting their butts! Good, rich, fertile soil. Can plant anything, even $$$$$$$$$-lah! …

Consider this equation :
75 MPs x 12 days x RM 1000 = RM 900,000
So, who is paying for this trip ? Aren’t we the Rakyat who are paying for them to have a holiday, just so that the PM can keep the throne warm for a while longer ?
