PAC chairman must apologise to Dewan Rakyat speaker, public over Standing Order misreading – Willie Mongin

I read with sheer amazement how an MP from the opposition is able to misread a Standing Order, or pretend to misread the Standing Order in order to mislead the public.

Public Accounts Committee chairman YB Wong Kah Woh says Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Seri Azhar Azizan Harun has the discretion to suspend Parliament’s Standing Orders to make the inquiry into Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief Tan Sri Azam Baki’s shareholding public.

Wong was referring to Standing Order 90(2) and said: “The speaker is not right. He has the power to initiate the suspension of the Standing Orders by referring the same to the House for a decision pursuant to Standing Order 90(2).”
