KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 18 (Bernama) -- "We will have a Toilet Minister lah," that is the spontaneous reply from Works Ministry Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu when the Opposition Leader again brought up the toilet problem in Parliament which is said to be not functioning well.
Lim Kit Siang (DAP-Ipoh Timur) who raised the issue when Samy Vellu was winding up the debate on the Supply Bill 2006 for his ministry, claimed that the toilet was in a dire state due to the failure of the appointed contractor to renovate the Parliament building.
"As suggested by the member of parliament for Ipoh Timur, we will create a Toilet Minister's post. When we have a Toilet Minister, we will have a Toilet Opposition Leader," he said in response to Lim's remarks.
Samy Vellu added: "The first day after renovation, everything in the toilet is the most beautiful like a new bride. If it had long been in use and people do not care anymore, then it will not be beautiful anymore."
