A PKR MP’s suggestion at the Dewan Rakyat to get macaques to consume birth control pills to control their population left netizens unimpressed, mocking the leader for it.
User Muzaffar Abdullah added:
Two days ago, Sungai Petani MP Johari Abdul told the Dewan Rakyat that several areas in his constituency were having problems dealing with “invasive” macaque population.
“As we clear up more jungle areas, the macaques enter human domain and are causing a lot of problems. They are harassing children and stealing eggs from the refrigerators. Yes, they know how to open refrigerators!”
“My constituents are clueless on how deal with the problem and killing them is illegal. Therefore, I propose the authorities to administer some kind of birth control pills to the macaques to control their population,” he was reported saying.
Apes galore at the Parliament!
User Rahayu Zulkifli opined that Johari was clueless in dealing with wildlife issues, adding politicians need more awareness on such matters before talking.
Other netizens, however, used the opportunity to take pot shots at politicians, saying people need to control the “population” of elected officials. – Oct 28, 2021
