Let's hope not. The Speaker is the heads of the legislative branch of government, and is on par in precedence to the other two heads, i.e. PM as head of executive; and Chief Justice as head of the judiciary. Also, where the president is incapacitated, it is usually the speaker to acts in his stead. So please, given the age of SRN, Salah Peiling as speaker would be a heart attack away from taking the salute at NDP 2011.
To be a speaker
1. Must not have temper/anger
2. Must be nuetral not bias
3. Must be able to control crowd/MPs from throwing thing or curse others MPs in meeting
Why all are charbors? How about a durable & battle-hardened He-man Mr Charles Chong? My vote for him to be appointed Speaker or at least Deputy Speaker.
