Pandikar Amin says, "Speaker must be Impartial" - Malaysiakini

We're not trying to plagiarise anyone or resort to 'lazy blogging' but I can't help but laugh the bejesus out of me when I saw the following article on the Malaysian Insider.

Speaker should be impartial, says Pandikar Amin

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 23 – A speaker should be impartial and well aware of the consquences of his actions to the House and the people in general, said Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia.

He said that if a person was appointed speaker, “you are the Speaker of that particular Parliament or state assembly, and do not belong to any political party or to benefit a particular party.”

“A speaker should not be a servant to a certain political party,” he said after opening the Asian Parliamentary Assembly (APA) first sub-committe meeting on global financial crisis and its impact here today.

Pandikar Amin was speaking to reporters when asked to comment on the ongoing constitutional crisis in Perak.
