Kuala Lumpur: Speaker Johari Abdul has urged MPs to put an end to bringing up issues and making statements related to “kafir” and “zionists” in the Dewan Rakyat.
Johari said various arguments put forth by MPs during last week’s 2024 supply bill debate were “sensitive, hurtful, and divisive”, especially when today’s conditions are not conducive for such language.“MPs should exhibit commendable behaviour when addressing the issues concerning the people and the nation,” he said.
