Tensions in Dewan Rakyat run high as Saifuddin's remark riles up Opposition MPs

KUALA LUMPUR: Tensions temporarily ran high in the Dewan Rakyat after Opposition MPs were triggered by the remarks "playing god's job" made by Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

In what appears to be a thinly-veiled reference to PAS, the Home Minister slammed politicians who were "playing god" after they insinuated that supporting them meant they were supporting Islam while those who opposed them would mean that they were opposing the religion.
