Speaker turns down Syed Saddiq’s motion to discuss flood measures as PM already addressed issue


KUALA LUMPUR: A motion to discuss flood mitigation measures in Parliament by Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman (Muda-Muar) was rejected by Speaker Datuk Johari Abdul on Tuesday (Dec 20).

According to Johari, this was because Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also Finance Minister, said Putrajaya had already taken immediate action to help flood victims.
