Foul-mouth MPs to be fined RM1,000 or suspended, says Dewan Rakyat Speaker

PETALING JAYA: Lawmakers caught uttering racist, sexist or derogatory terms in Parliament could face a fine of RM1,000 alongside suspensions, says Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Johari Abdul.

Johari said these were some of the mooted Parliamentary reforms given how some MPs used the terms shamelessly, with the slurs even targeted towards the Speaker, Deputy Speaker, as well as other MPs.
