Jelutong MP ejected after opposition pushes to remove speaker

Chaos broke out in Parliament today over a motion to remove Dewan Rakyat speaker Azhar Azizan Harun, which had been previously rejected by his deputy Mohd Rashid Hasnon.

The commotion culminated in Rashid kicking RSN Rayer (Harapan-Jelutong) out of the august House for two days, after the latter called Rashid an “embarrassment” (memalukan).

“He said shameful, it is inappropriate. I also have a face,” Rashid said, after kicking Rayer out.

This resulted in the opposition MPs chanting ‘memalukan’ inside the Dewan, though they soon had to stop as the sitting adjourned for the lunch break.
