PN MPs walk out after speaker refuses to delay special TH sitting
PN insists the special Dewan Rakyat sitting should only be held when the prime minister can attend proceedings, although Bersatu doesn't join the walkout.
Opposition MPs abruptly left the Dewan Rakyat during a special sitting to review the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) report on Tabung Haji (TH) today. This happened after their request to postpone the proceedings was denied, due to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's absence. Takiyuddin Hassan, PN's chief whip, argued that Anwar's presence was vital since he originally requested the special sitting.
The Speaker, Johari Abdul, decided to continue with the meeting as the deputy prime minister and other ministers were present to represent the Cabinet. Despite the opposition's exit, Bersatu MPs aligned with Muhyiddin Yassin supported the ongoing discussion, urging their colleagues to remain in the House. The RCI report, declassified on July 29, revealed significant shortcomings in TH's governance, investments, and financial management between 2014 and 2020.
