Awang Solahuddin Hashim (Perikatan Nasional-Pendang) has been ejected from the Dewan Rakyat after a small ruckus erupted over Taufiq Johari (Pakatan Harapan-Sungai Petani) having his motion approved for debate in the special chambers today.
He was asked to leave the august House until after lunch at 2.30pm.
The argument started when Awang said “anak bapa” (father’s son) after Shahidan Kassim questioned why Taufiq’s motion which was submitted on Wednesday was approved before his when he submitted his motion on Tuesday.
Taufiq is Dewan Rakyat speaker Johari Abdul’s son.
While announcing the approval of Taufiq’s motion, Deputy Dewan Rakyat speaker Alice Lau had earlier said the motion was deliberated upon by her fellow deputy speaker Ramli Mohd Nor.
Both Taufiq and RSN Rayer (Harapan-Jelutong) demanded Awang retract his statement, with Taufiq also questioning what the latter meant by “anak bapa”.
“Conflict of interest,” Awang replied simply, which prompted another round of argument.
