Minor ruckus as Langkawi MP presses issue of island's exclusion from cycling race


KUALA LUMPUR: A brief commotion broke out in the Dewan Rakyat when Datuk Mohd Suhaimi Abdullah (PN-Langkawi) questioned the exclusion of the island as one of the stops in this year's Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL).

While the question was raised during Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing’s turn to wrap up the 12th Malaysia Plan mid-term review on Tuesday (Sept 19), it was Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh who stood up to respond.
