Melaka lawmakers trade barbs on boars, insults over Tg Piai


MELAKA: Debate about Barisan Nasional's overwhelming Tanjung Piai win and reports of migratory Indonesian wild boars, degenerated into an exchange of insults and name-calling at the state assembly.

It started after Tey Kok Kiew (DAP-Bandar Hilir) challenged Idris Haron (BN-Sungai Udang) (pic) to vacate his seat after the latter told the House that Barisan's landslide by-election victory on Nov 16 shows Pakatan Harapan is unpopular among the people.
