hit out at a DAP lawmaker for making unfounded claims on flood issues in his constituency.
The war of words broke out between Wee and R. S. N Rayer when he was debating Budget 2020 under the Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change Ministry at the committee stage. Wee had asked what were the measures taken to address frequent flooding near the Ulu Pulai river in Johor. "As a lawmaker, I will carry out my duties as a responsible MP. At that time, Kampung Ulu Pulai was under the Gelang Patah constituency, but it is under mine now. That is why I am raising it," he said in the Dewan Rakyat.
Rayer had earlier interjected asking whether it was the first time Wee had raised such issues in the Dewan Rakyat considering that he was a two-term Tanjung Piai MP in the past."It is now under me, so I will raise it. I want all those under my constituency to be protected and aided by the Federal Government. You should ask Lim Kit Siang," said Wee.Speaker Tan Sri Mohamad Arif Md Yusof requested both parties to keep their cool and asked Wee to continue with his debates.
