Pendang MP's 'anak bapa' remark cut me deep, says Speaker

KUALA LUMPUR: Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul says he was deeply hurt by the "anak bapa" (father's son) remark by a Perikatan Nasional MP as it implied that he gave preferential treatment to his son Dr Mohammed Taufiq Johari’s (PH-Sungai Petani) motion for a debate.

“Today I am profoundly affected because this insinuation cuts me deep,” Johari said as soon as he began his shift in the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday (Oct 12).
