PAS has questioned deputy speaker Ramli Nor’s reminder to MPs not to use hurtful language or interrupt debates, issued just before party president Abdul Hadi Awang was scheduled to speak in the Dewan Rakyat.
PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan (PN-Kota Bharu) said the timing of the reminder gave a negative impression of Hadi, who is the Marang MP.
In response, Ramli explained that Deputy Speaker Alice Lau was chairing the session before this and when he took over Seputeh MP Teresa Kok was already in the middle of speaking.
