Dewan Rakyat Speaker

We all know, ever since the announcement from the BN government of their choice of the Dewan Rakyat Speaker that he is as good as confirmed.

Such is the state of our "people" representative that anything that was recommended from the top is as good as a command. Remember your favorite word to win your girl-friend heart? - Your wish is my command, dear....

What I dont understand though, is the nonchalant way our DPM put it that it was preferable that there was no contest as the person for the job should be accepted by all MPs.

Now, this is a mystery. Can any single politician can be accepted by the other politician - let alone 219 of them? And I thought we have a parlimentary democracy - one vote one person - ? hmmm....
