Dewan Rakyat Speaker disappointed Takiyuddin made mediation proposal public before his response
KUALA LUMPUR: Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul is disappointed with Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan’s (PN-Kota Baru) decision to make his mediation proposal public without waiting for a response from him.
KUALA LUMPUR - The Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat, Tan Sri Johari Abdul, expressed disappointment that Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan (PN-Kota Baru) made his mediation proposal public before responding to Johari's request. Johari had given Takiyuddin until last Thursday to retract his use of the term "munafik," following a complaint by RSN Rayer (PH-Jelutong).
Takiyuddin responded with a letter the same day, stating he would not withdraw the remark and proposing mediation involving the Speaker, Rayer, and himself. Johari only read the letter the following day. Johari found Takiyuddin's decision to make the proposal public disappointing, as he should have allowed Johari the chance to respond to his proposal first.
The controversy arose when Takiyuddin cited a hadith about the three traits of a hypocrite during the 2027 Budget debate, prompting Johari to ask Takiyuddin to withdraw the term.
