PETALING JAYA: Arau MP Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim is the Dewan Rakyat’s "most controversial" and funniest MP for the current term according to the Parliament Hansard from December 2022 to June 2023, says non-governmental organisation MYMP.

Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday (Sept 6), MyMP founder Lau Chak Onn said this was based on the words 'dewan riuh' typed into the Hansard referring to ruckuses in the lower house, while the words 'dewan ketawa' was for whenever laughter broke.
