Tak Nak or Nak Lah??!?!

EDUCATION doesn't mean anything when it comes to our ministers.

One would think having a law background would at least mould a more matured thinking person. Sports Minister Azalina Othman Said and now recently Minister in PM's department Nazri Aziz have proven otherwise.

Quoting today's NST, Nazri took a swpie at PAS' plans for fielding non-smokers for the coming elections.

This certainly backfires PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's Tak Nak! programme.

Below are several of the quotes which are self explanatory;

"What they propose is rubbish. What they want is to win unopposed because they know we all smoke," he added.

Nazri argued for freedom of choice, saying that smoking was not wrong as long as smokers did not indulge in their habit in places where it was prohibited.

"Smoking is not something which is bad. It’s not taking drugs.

"The only concern is that smoking causes cancer," he said this after launching a Nur Sejahtera programme hosted by the National Population and Family Development Board to raise awareness of breast cancer here yesterday.

He said smoking did not affect the performance of MPs and state assemblymen.

"I smoke cigars. You can ask my constituents if they are happy with my performance," said Nazri, who is the MP for Padang Rengas.

Asked on role models in relation to smoking, he said smoking was discouraged because of the danger of cancer.

"But you don’t send people to jail for smoking," he added.

Note: Any religion including Islam prohibits their followers from taking anything intoxicating and which is bad for health. Isn't smoking bad? Or perhaps Nazri feels cancer is not as bad as it seems to be. Or perhaps his cigars have been affecting his judgements already? Quizas, Quizas, Quizas.
