BRING back the glory days of parliamentarians. This was the task given by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi to the Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club (BNBBC) last month. He urged them to “do something extraordinary” to commemorate the country's 50th Merdeka this year. 

In a meeting with BNBBC, he said he wanted the elected representatives to raise and champion issues that would bring about a better civil administration and to engage in a higher quality of debates.
