PARLIAMENT | Seputeh MP Teresa Kok said she had clicked on an advertisement while reading news on the internet after critics accused her of online shopping while in Parliament.
Former Wangsa Maju MP Wee Choo Keong had shared on Twitter a photograph of Kok's computer screen while she was in Parliament that apparently displayed pictures of clothing.
This was later circulated by former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak on Facebook.
"While I was reading news on news portals, I saw the advertisement, so I clicked on the advertisement before backing out to continue reading the news.
"The advertisement appeared on both Free Malaysia Today and Malaysiakini.
"Wee and Najib appear to have nothing better to do and are trying to find issues," Kok told Malaysiakini when asked for clarification.
She also showed a copy of the advertisement on the websites.
Today is the first day of the Parliament sitting for this year.
The first day normally sees a joint session of the Dewan Rakyat and Dewan Negara where they convene to hear the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's speech.
The parliamentary agenda tomorrow will resume with the debate of the king's speech.
Several legislative agendas are in queue for the Parliament session, including the introduction of stiffer penalties under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 and the introduction of an anti-sexual harassment bill.
Also in the queue is a watered-down legislation for an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission.
The Dewan Rakyat session will run until March 24. - Mkini
