Whatever will they think of next? Our oh-so-brilliant Malaysian members of parliament (in this case, a senator) have done it again. From previous inspired ideas like chastity belts to prevent rapes from occuring, we now have... relocation to prevent flooding from occuring!
This article in the Star quotes Senator Dr. Mohd Puad Zarkashi as saying, "Rather than spend billions on flood mitigation, which have yet to prove effective, why not relocate and rename the federal capital Ibu Kota Tanpa Lumpur (Capital City Without Mud)?"
Wouldn't it also incur cost to relocate the federal capital? Furthermore, relocating the capital doesn't solve the problem of the floods which will still continue to occur in KL. It's just a diversion to draw one's attention away from the flooding because then KL would no longer be the capital city and thus, conveniently ignored.
I call this... Just Being Malaysian.
