MEMBERS of Parliament from the Opposition staged a walkout when Speaker Datuk Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof refused to cite Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng for allegedly misleading the House.

Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob had submitted a motion to refer Lim to the Rights and Privileges Committee after the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) found no evidence to support his claim last year that the previous administration “robbed” RM19.4bil in Goods and Sales Tax (GST) credit refunds.
