Opposition MPs stage walkout over 'due process', Pendang rep suspended


KUALA LUMPUR: Opposition MPs staged a walkout at the Dewan Rakyat, claiming that the process in which Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was allowed to present a motion of gratitude to the former Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Mustafa Billah Shah while welcoming His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, did not follow due process.

In the commotion, Datuk Awang Hashim (PN-Pendang) was also ejected and suspended from the lower House for four days for not abiding by Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul’s order to sit despite repeated warnings.
