Opinion on Parliment Live Telecast

The Parliment Live Telecast was shown for the first time last week and there are sparks among the MPs as they start to call each other names. After that incident, there were some suggestions to stop to live telecast of Parliment meetings as they felt ashamed to see the acts of the MPs. But this is a better way for the public to understanding the people that they have voted in to represent them.
The second live telecast was shown today. The MPs have shown significantly better behaviour and this shows that by showing the meetings through live telecast, the meetings can be done in a better manner as the MPs know that they are being watched and they will do their best.

The only thing that is dissapointing about the live telecast is that during the 30 minutes allocated for Parliment meeting, only less than 15 minutes were shown. Nevertheless, this is a great move by the Malaysian Government to be more transparent. So it should go on..
