    Ample evidence is available from video footage for the destruction they caused to Parliamentary equipment. The entire nation saw what they did and how they destroyed nation's property. Are we going to condone these atrocities?

    When did you take action against anything? During the MS and RW regime did UNP protest against the slow moving cases against corruption? Did you see how soon Malaysian Government got the old prime minister indicted? You protect each other and play the game to the public gallery. The public are the fools to keep electing you while you enjoy your luxury life, they suffer...

    "statement made by Minister S. B Dissanayake that the red coloured liquid which was thrown at MPs were Coca Cola" - coke or not - Seeni Boolai's utterances cannot be taken as truth.

    I sincerely hope these culprits - no matter from which party - are punished for their behaviour in openly attacking the Speaker of the House, vandalism of public property occupying the Speaker's seat, etc. etc. etc. Everyone has been caught on camera, so please no excuses.

    Don't worry nothing will happen. All talk only. Seriously some of them should be banned for life. Otherwise this will happen again and again. A
