KUALA LUMPUR – In another round of tit for tat, Bersatu religious bureau chairman Datuk Shabudin Yahaya advised opposition lawmakers, especially those from DAP, to show some respect and not be rude to the leaders of the country.
In a statement late last night, Shabudin alleged that several DAP MPs were shouting while Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was reciting the al-Fatihah for Covid-19 victims during the Dewan Rakyat special sitting yesterday.
“They had absolutely no respect for the prime minister, who called on members of the Dewan Rakyat to reflect and recite the al-Fatihah for the victims of Covid-19.
“This is the true nature of DAP leaders, who do not know how to show respect in a forum.”
Shabudin said Muhyiddin had conveyed his condolences to the families of Covid-19 victims at the beginning of his speech, just before the commotion started.
He claimed that DAP MPs were seen shouting “point of order” several times, which stopped the Pagoh MP from continuing his speech.
“I deeply regret the actions of the DAP elected representatives and urge them to apologise to the prime minister and all Malaysians.
“They went overboard; their actions were embarrassing and cannot be allowed to continue.” – Bernama, July 27, 2021
