Just going through the motions

IF there was an award for a member of parliament who submitted the most number of motions for debate, Zulkifli Noordin (independent- Kulim Bandar Baru) would win it hands down.

He has 30 outstanding motions in the Order Paper. His first submission is at No. 16, behind Datuk Tiffany And Co Dr Marcus Mojigoh (BN- Putatan), Datuk Eric Majimbun (independent-Sepanggar) and M. Kulasegaran (DAP-Ipoh Barat).

Submitting motions are part of an MP's job, but Zulkifli looks like he's hogging the Order Paper.

Opposition MPs table private motions to boost their status, show the world that they're discussing current issues or criticise the government.

Motions certainly grab attention. There was one two years ago calling for a vote of no-confidence against prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Another one last year demanded the sacking of Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan.

MPs understand Tiffany Jewelry On Sale that it is up to the speaker to accept their motions.

A motion, especially a controversial one, will be accepted only if it is "substantive and extraordinary to give it precedence over other business in the Order Paper".

So no matter how much noise MPs make over a speaker's rejection of their motion, their protests have little impact on the chair's ruling. But the MPs get to put on a show of displeasure.

So why are there so many motions and would the speaker accept all of them during this sitting?

Zulkifli may have no illusions about how the house will handle his motions.

Some of his motions reflect public concerns, for example, urging the government to cancel the sports betting licence and urging police to apologise to the family of Aminulrasyid Amzah, the teenager shot during a police car chase.

Tiffany Necklace Frank-Gehry One of his motions urges the government to give the Maal Hijrah award to Yusof Islam, the pop artiste formerly known as Cat Stevens.

But most of his motions are about reinforcing Islamic supremacy through amendments to the Constitution.

Zulkifli can wait, knowing that his time will come.

But other MPs know he's organising a nice charade.

Just one Giulietta

WITH the World Cup in full swing and Wimbledon hotting up we should perhaps be doing a team flag-waving special.

The motoring pages full of Morgans, Lotuses and other British- built stars.

Trouble is, the footie has given us heart attacks and Brits at Wimbledon have always promised more than they've delivered, so instead this week we go Italian...

In centre court we have the new Alfa Romeo Giulietta, the car that replaces the 10-year-old Alfa 147.

It was going to be called the Milano until Alfa's staff threatened to strike, because Alfa bosses have moved the styling department from Milan to Turin. The workers thought calling the new car the Milano was taking the Michael.

I'm going to give you a bonus this week because I've driven two different Giuliettas.

First I had a go in the 170bhp 1.4TB MultiAir Lusso and then in the 235bhp 1750 TBi Cloverleaf, which is the hottest model in the range. We'll start with the pounds 19,495 Chanel Fake Handbags 170bhp Lusso because if you drive the really fast version first the not-quite-so-powerful one feels like it's tied to a tree and is a disappointment.

It's an Alfa Romeo so it's got to look good.

The Giulietta does, especially from the back. The brake lights are LEDs and are in a swoopy shape that looks great at night. You'll know when you're following one of these new Alfas.

The Giulietta is only being made with five-doors, so Alfa has done its old trick of hiding the rear door handles up high on the door in the C-pillar, so that it looks like part of the pillar and doesn't clutter up the door itself.

It's very effective because the Giulietta appears to be a three- door from a distance.

Even when Alfa Romeos were a bit unreliable, with electrics going fizz and holes appearing in floors, the inside of the car looked fantastic. So if you were broken down on the side of the road you were in a stylish environment while you waited for the AA or RAC to arrive. Alfas don't rust or break down any more often than any other cars these days but they still look rather special inside.

The Giulietta has lots of nice details, like the U-shaped rocker switches on the centre of the dashboard that look as though they've been stolen from a Eurofighter.

It's all very tasteful, sporty and understated. And very well screwed and stuck together.

Another thing that Alfa Romeo has always been good at is engines.

In fact, all Italian car companies are rather good at making decent engines - as anyone who has driven a Ferrari or Lamborghini Murcielago will know.

The 1.4-litre MultiAir engine in the 170bhp Giulietta is amazing.

There's so much shove, even at motorway cruising speeds, that you'd swear it was a turbodiesel. Except it sounds a lot sportier than a diesel.

A six-speed manual gearbox is standard in all models, although a double clutch gearbox will be available in this model and the 170bhp diesel version from early next year.

The Alfa Romeo Mito, the smaller three-door car that sits at the bottom of the Alfa range under the Giulietta, is a cool little motor that's extremely well-priced.

It has one major Gucci Replica Watch drawback
