Training required for this MP

Got this extracted from an article from Malaysiakini yesterday:

No need for non-Muslim affairs dept

Meanwhile, Abdullah yesterday said it was not necessary to set up a non-muslim affairs department because an effective special committee is already in place.

He said this after Indian non-governmental organisations requested the government to set up the department to handle the affairs of non-Muslims in the country. The premier explained that the existing committee in the PM’s Department comprised of Minister in the PM’s Department Bernard Dompok (handling Christian matters), Works Minister S Samy Vellu (Hindu) and Housing and Local Government Minister Ong Ka Ting (Buddhism).

Abdullah also said that the National Unity Department has a similar committee with a minister (Dr Maximus Ongkili) entrusted with matters pertaining to solidarity, religions and beliefs.

Dear MP for Kepala Batas,

Please ask your assistant to look up the Hansard. For the sake of justice, now is the turn of the Executive to execute the necessary administration, not to make excuses.

P/S:

The last time these named ministers came to you with a memo on religious issues, they received sharp rebukes from your government. How can they be effective when they have been publicly failed by you in the eyes of your voters?
