ETYMOLOGY:
Named after Bung Mokhtar Radin, Member of Parliament of Kinabatangan, Sabah, renowned for being a serial utterer of sexist remarks and other obscenities in Parliament.

Since becoming Member of Parliament in 1999, Bung has been responsible for some of these comments in Parliament:

  • “Boleh masuk sikit?” - 2001
  • “Mana ada bocor? Batu Gajah pun bocor tiap-tiap bulan juga.” - 2007
  • "You are lucky that you are only in a wheelchair and did not die. Even in a wheelchair you want to create trouble in here. Shut up and sit down." (to Karpal Singh, MP Bukit Gelugor, who is disabled) - 2006
  • “As a disabled [Karpal Singh] should act like one, but his mouth is not like a disabled.” 2008
Most recently, he again showed his dexterity on the Malaysian legal dance floor when he took another wife illegally
For visual evidence, see:

In the fantastic world of Malaysian politix, Bung has not only boogied away his bad behaviour with just a slap on the wrist, he even got a promotion! In 2009, he was elected UMNO Supreme Council Member and is currently, the Deputy Chairman of the Backbenchers Club.

Inspired by how well Bung Mokhtar Radin dances around the law (& be downright rude at the same time), the Bung Cha Cha is born!

You too can do the Bung Cha-Cha. Mash-ups, dance steps, pictures & videos all welcomed!
