That quote definitely got everyone’s jaws dropping!
In Dewan Rakyat yesterday (4 April), Noh Omar, a Barisan National lawmaker said that stealing is not a wrong thing to do, except if you get caught doing it. So unless someone arrests you for doing so, you’re considered not in the wrong.
As reported by Free Malaysia Today, the Tanjong Kajang MP said that when demanding that BN politicians be treated equally as the politicians from the current ruling government. This was said because he said principals of schools who allowed him to enter their compounds were warned by the State Education Department not to do so.

He said that a circular dated February 2, 2008, allows politicians to enter school premises so long as they obtain permission from the education department. However, referring to how come no opposition lawmaker was allowed in schools back when BN was still in power, he mentions that it’s because no one brought up this issue.
āStealing is not wrong, only when you are arrested it becomes wrong. Riding a motorcycle without a helmet is not wrong, only when the police arrest you it becomes wrong.”
āThe same with this regulation,ā he said.
He further stated that he has evidence that some school heads were told not to allow him to enter and implied that it is within his rights to do so.
