Opposition MPs stage walkout


JUST a day after the start of the Parliament’s new session, Opposition MPs stormed out of Dewan Rakyat in protest over what they claimed were actions that did not abide by the Standing Orders.

The commotion began after the lunch break when Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said stood up to propose for the Prime Minister to be allowed to present a motion of thanks to the former Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Mustafa Billah Shah, while welcoming His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia.
