Malaysian parliament goes live on television, with 'circus scenes'

Today, after five decades wondering what a live broadcast of parliamentary democracy in action might look like, Malaysians got their answer: plenty of farce, very little debate.
Highlights of the unprecedented television spectacular included a crescendo of bellowed calls for calm, childish insults, impassioned name-calling, and muttered vows by the government that the experiment with bringing democracy to the small screen would not be repeated.
At the climax of one lively exchange, Bung Mokhtar, a senior ruling coalition MP, was branded “Bigfoot” by Karpal Singh of the Democratic Action Party. In keeping with playground tradition, the wounded party retaliated with the argument “If I am Bigfoot, you are a big monkey.”
