Brouhaha in Parliament after MP asks: Is the Health DG afraid to die?


KUALA LUMPUR: The Dewan Rakyat descended into a shouting match after Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing (GPS-Bintulu) asked whether Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah was fearful of his life over the Covid-19 pandemic.

The shouting match saw emotional rebukes from Opposition MPs, and RSN Rayer (PH-Jelutong) was ejected by Deputy Speaker Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said, who was visibly incensed after the DAP lawmaker refused to heed her calls to sit down.
