Welcome to the delightful world of politics, where even birds become the subject of comparison!
Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang has likened Anwar Ibrahim's government to "burung tiung" (myna birds), suggesting that they mindlessly echo their leader's words without truly understanding the meanin of the concept.
Hadi's analogy paints a vivid picture of a flock of old parrots, squawking away without a clue. It is almost comical imagining these politicians, advanced in age but lacking in linguistic finesse, blabbering on about "Malaysia Madani" without grasping its very essence.
His comparison is not just amusing; it is also a clever commentary on the state of affairs in the current government. The use of bird emojis in the comment section only adds to the irony, as viewers join in on the mockery.
Hadi's call for fairness in distributing funds to MPs, regardless of their allegiance, is a valid point. After all, fairness is key to building trust, especially among investors. His plea to retain the pension scheme for civil servants is equally sensible, as it honours their dedication and contributions to the country.
In the end, Hadi's words serve as a reminder that in the world of politics, it is not just about what you say, but also about understanding the meaning behind the words. Otherwise, you might just end up sounding like a bunch of squawking mynas!
Editorial note: Ecotourism and Conservation Society Malaysia (Ecomy) co-founder and chief executive officer Andrew Sebastian said…a Common Myna … could be trained to “speak.”
“The Common Myna and its cousin, the Hill Myna, are usually victims of the pet trade because they can be trained to speak, to mimic human words”.
