Once I attended an UMNO gathering in a kampung. Pak Menteri was there and so were a dozen local dignitaries comprising of heads of governments departments community leaders and penghulu.
There were altogether 13 VIPs of varying importance and six people were scheduled to make speeches. What irk me was that every speaker began his speech with the ritual of reciting the names of all the VIPs in attendance, their station in life etc. It would be alright for the first speaker to do so as a matter of introduction to the audience. But for the other speakers to repeat the same thing over and over again is bad.
Should we maintain a tradition if it proves cumbersome with changing time?
