The red-faced Parliament Secretariat is upset with the circulation of a picture showing an English language error on a menu card for an official dinner at the Parliament building.
It said the menu card, which misspelled 'Caesar's salad' as 'scissors salad' was actually replaced when the error was identified, before the official dinner ceremony for the aides of parliamentarians.
"We regret that the erroneous menu card was circulated by irresponsible parties, inviting negative impression on the Malaysian Parliament," the secretariat said in a statement late yesterday.
It also stressed that the menu card was prepared by the caterer and by not the Parliament Secretariat.
The picture was widely-circulated online, prompting ridicule and jokes from MPs, a minister, a celebrity chef, two food chains and netizens.
Some also noted other mistakes on the menu card, including the error on the French dessert dish 'creme brule', which was spelled as 'cream brule'. -Mkini
