Malaysia is well-known for our roofs, whether the collapsible or leaking type (kindly check out both my postings on September 24, 2010 and December 23, 2009 on Malaysian-made roofs). And so on Tuesday, it was the turn of the MPs’ lounge in Parliament to get flooded when rainwater escaped from the roof. According to the Star, this was the sixth time the roof had sprung a leak (p N4).
But what made it so damn funny was when Nazri Abdul Aziz, the minister in charge of Parliament – when pressed by reporters about the deluge – had described the rain as “an act of God”! Malaysians are so blessed because God gives us so much rain and so often too, in order that we can showcase our well-earned reputation of producing roofs that will either cave in or let rainwater trespass unchecked. Malaysia Boleh!
There’s also a positive turn to this mishap. At least, this time, the roof only leaks. If it had collapsed when Parliament is sitting – can you imagine what would happen? Malaysians would have to endure a string of by-elections! It may be a good thing. Or it may not!
