Opposition MPs walk out of Dewan Rakyat over Tabung Haji RCI debate
KUALA LUMPUR: Opposition MPs staged a walkout from the Dewan Rakyat today after the Speaker rejected their call to postpone the special sitting on the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on Tabung Haji until Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim returns to Parliament.
Opposition lawmakers walked out of the Dewan Rakyat amid a debate on the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report regarding Tabung Haji. The Speaker of the House dismissed their request to postpone the special session until Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim rejoins the chamber. This decision came as Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na im Mokhtar began presenting the RCI report.
Opposition leader Takiyuddin Hassan then objected, asserting: "We will not proceed with this debate," before the opposition MPs left the premises. Earlier, Takiyuddin had proposed postponing the session until Anwar's return, emphasizing the importance of his testimony, especially in light of the prime minister's earlier concerns.
