Kok’s ‘conservative’ Dungun comment infuriates PAS lawmakers

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – A brief commotion broke out in the Dewan Rakyat today after Teresa Kok (Seputeh-PH) labelled residents of Terengganu’s PAS-held Dungun as “conservative”. 

This triggered several PAS lawmakers to voice their dissatisfaction, with one demanding that Kok withdraw her remark, but this was immediately dismissed by Speaker Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun.

The tumult broke out during Ministers’ Question Time, when Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim (Arau-BN) was responding to queries from Wan Hassan Mohd Ramli (Dungun-PAS) on the sale of liquor at Kuala Lumpur stores.

In her supplementary question, Kok indicated that the issue does not involve those in Dungun.
