Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon had a hard time from Opposition MPs in the Dewan Rakyat when he “violated” the Standing Orders – he wanted an explanation from Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who had himself stood up to ask a query.
“Minta penjelasan (seeking clarification),” the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department asked Lim, who had just finished asking a supplementary question on why allocation for conservation work in Penang was much less than that for Malacca.
Shouts of “Mana boleh! Tak tahu Standing Order kah? (How can you do that? Don’t you know the Standing Orders?”) came from the left side of the Dewan.
Khalid Abd Samad (PAS-Shah Alam) promptly raised his hand, holding out the Standing Order.
Even Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia chuckled while Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin signalled for Dr Koh to sit down.
