Malaysia is world-famous for some really awesome stuff. Having one of the best and most lauded Formula One circuits in the world, the tallest TWIN towers in the world, the beauty of our Kadazandusun and Malay women, the best prawn mee in the world, best roadside-food-stall-with-flies-that-won't-make-you-wanna-throw-up, blah, blah, blah.
But Malaysia's also famous for some of the craziest behaviour and shit-rivers that flow out of several ministers' mouth. So, damn the ISA and here's a short run-down of some really insane things said and done by Malaysian ministers in recent times.
5. (Former) Health Minister Chua Soi Lek promotes good health.
Young men everywhere in Malaysia who say that they have trouble getting 'it' up should now be suitably ashamed of themselves. And permanently retire their 'swords and keris'es' lest it be done for them. Slowly and painfully.
Chua of MCA held the post of Health Minister from 2004 to 2008 and he was a credible minister for that post as the dude was trained in psychology and psychiatry.
'Ah Lek' worked as a medical officer at Batu Pahat Hospital in Johor before opening his own practice in 1977. In 1990, he went full-steam in MCA politics.
Now, when the rest of us were still hungover and reeling from too much post-party-stress-disorders (choose your favourite ailment), the robust Minister of Health, on January 1 2008 promptly showed up all young 'men' around this here parts despite his advanced age, his ability for 'pleasing the ladies' as per the following video before resigning the next day:
4. Too Much 'Race-based' Politics, Naz?
Mohd. Nazri Abdul Aziz. Current Minister in the Prime Minister's Department.
Hatchetman? Guardian of Intregrity for Prime Minister Dato Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi? Or staunch supporter of UMNO?
Who knows?
But he's definitely hard-up for defending some notion of racial discrimination as evinced by the following video:
In his tirade, he uttered the phrase 'bloody racist' a grand total of 28 times.
28 frikkin times.
You'd think he'd made his point by the second time he said the phrase.
But by the end of the fifth time, he just came across looking like a childish prat in a shouting match with his cousin in some 'rumahtangga' before they're both pulled by the ears towards separate corners for some time-out.
3. Begging your pardon Dato's MPs, but what's bursting every month?
Ahh Malaysia. The South-East Asian bastion of religious freedom, racial integration and more recently, gender equality and opportunities.
And then you have this:
Backbenchers Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin and Datuk Mohd Said Yusuf, two upstanding representatives of the people likened the leaking roof of the Parliamentary Hall to another respected MP. "Where is the leak? The member for Batu Gajah also leaks once a month.".
And yes, the calm and eloquently-spoken Bung Mokthar has also been appointed a Deputy Chairman of the Backbenchers Club.
Certainly, Malaysian ministers in Parliament are all about class and respect. And I've got a fucking bridge in Penang to sell to you.

2. Yet More Gentlemanly Manners for the Ladies
Here's yet another display of gallantry and gender sensitivity for the ladies of Malaysia when Kota Kinabalu UMNO pro-tem head Hj Roselan "Bonehead" Johar Mohamed said “If you cannot fight rape, better lay down and enjoy it.”
And that's not even the worst part.
Roselan uttered that piece of gem at an event jointly organised by the (read with me)
WOMAN, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL of Sabah.
Which should probably mean that there will be LOTS AND LOTS of woman there.
I'm surprised he wasn't immediately pelted to unconsciousness with used tampons after that.
1. Promoting Racial Unity and Integration, No Doubt.
The last (but not least) cringe-worthy comment comes from MP for Jerai, Kedah, Dato' Hj Badruddin Amiruddin who showed his racial tolerance and sensitivity for all Malaysians when he said, "Malaysia ini negara Islam. You tidak suka, you keluar dari Malaysia".
His strong grasp of both languages notwithstanding, Bad-ass-ruddin really exemplified Malaysia's strong drive for racial tolerance and mutual respect. And look, it's Bung Mokhtar again adding his own words of wisdom to the whole 'discourse'.
NOT.
