Gentleman parliamentarian: Khairy wants to advocate and engross matured politics, which respects the Dewan Rakyat proceedings and the rakyat’s aspiration of having their MPs stand up for their principles, say his loyalists.

Well done @Khairykj. Bring the voice of the Rakyat. This is what the Rakyat wants. Not the old way. Outdated. Walk out. Walk in. Don’t treat the Dewan Rakyat like a cow barn! Debate and fight!”

Ibdilillah’s tweet summarised what his chief’s intention on the first meeting of first term of the 14th Parliament when Opposition MPs from Umno and PAS walked out of the Dewan Rakyat after Datuk Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof was sworn in as the Speaker.
