Study Trip ???

Umno in order to sustain in power are doing the act of insulting or insolent treatment to his own MP's. The latest was the instruction to BN MP's to surrender their passport. The reason said was, BN back bencher's club were to organise the study trip to overseas. Pa Lah asks government machinery to be prudent in their spending but how about the law makers? Is the PM instruction is only binding the government machinery? I'm wondering how many backbenchers will be involved and the amount of people's money will be used for this so-call the study trip. Most of the BN backbenchers are muslim and I believe they practice the fasting, so doesn't make a sense to go for study trip during the fasting month. The logic to have study trip during the fasting month is not there. The main reason for the sudden trip was, umno leadership are so worried about the 16 September. The umno strategist believe, its better to take those identified going to commit treason out of the country and give them all the luxury life while in overseas. By surrendering their passport definitely it will be much easier to detect where this MP's have been after the GE since the source said most of the MP's meet Anwar in overseas. For me either forcing to pledge the support or to surrender their passport in the name of study trip is a great insultation for the MP's integrity and dignity.
