PETALING JAYA: Dewan Rakyat Speaker Azhar Azizan Harun has announced he will abstain from deciding on a motion involving Attorney-General Idrus Harun, who is his elder brother.
Azhar said he was distancing himself from the motion in view of the family ties.
“Therefore, I have decided to exclude myself from making any decision with regard to the motion,” he said in a statement.
He added that any decision on the motion will be left to the discretion of deputy speakers Mohd Rashid Hasnon and Azalina Othman Said, according to their seniority.
“I will not interfere in any way in the deputy speakers’ duties in this matter.”
