"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the biggest culprits are actually the Government Ministers. There is something called collective responsibility. If the Government Ministers stood together to defend the Government and not to do the work of the Back Bench; criticising it--- You will remember that a while ago, a Member who had just been appointed for the first time to Parliament and got very lucky to be a Minister, was not very happy with the appointment of diplomats. She called a Press conference to criticise her own boss. We have also seen other Ministers criticising fellow Ministers. You wonder why there are Cabinet meetings. If it were the days of the founding father of this nation, those Ministers would have been caned. If it were the days of the second President, those Ministers would not be holding office. I agree that times have changed, but there should be collective responsibility. The Government must stand together. If you bash yourselves, then do not blame anybody if you are kicked out of Government. We are very ready to take over."
