Speaker Art Harun to talk to police after Sepanggar MP called in over Parliament speech

KUALA LUMPUR: After Datuk Azis Jamman (Warisan-Sepanggar) was called in for questioning over a speech made in Parliament, Speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun says he will speak to the police over the matter to ensure that MPs right to speak in the House is upheld.

"I will go through Sepanggar's speech and god-willing, I take this matter seriously and I will communicate with the relevant parties in order to uphold the right to speak in the House," said Azhar shortly before debates on the Finance Ministry in Parliament began on Wednesday (Nov 24).
