KUALA LUMPUR: In a surprise move, Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh agreed for the first time with Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman that they did not hear Deputy Speaker Datuk Rashid Hasnon ordering the Pasir Salak MP out of the House for uttering expletives during proceedings.
The issue began when Speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun addressed the Tajuddin incident on July 20, after it was raised by Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching.
Tajuddin then spoke and explained his perspective, maintaining that he was not booted out by Rashid, who was chairing the then session on July 20. However, Tajuddin said when Rashid announced his suspension from Parliament several days after the incident, he decided to keep quiet as he did not feel like speaking on the matter any more."Honestly. I’m a Muslim," said Tajuddin, as he held his right arm and swore that he was telling the truth.
Yeoh said shortly after the incident involving Tajuddin on July 20, she and Teo went to speak to Rashid. "The conduct of the deputy speaker is very problematic here. I think he made up the order because none of us heard him ordering Tajuddin out," said Yeoh.
