Khairy: I stayed because I respect the House
Description
As more than 60 BN and PAS lawmakers exited the Dewan Rakyat in protest this morning, Khairy Jamaluddin chose to remain in his seat.
Speaking to reporters later, the Rembau MP explained that he did so out of respect for Parliament.
The former Umno minister said objections with regard to Speaker Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof's appointment should be kept for the debate sessions.
"We can protest during the debates after the opening ceremony tomorrow or (by citing the) Standing Orders on Wednesday," he added.
