Another PAS MP suspended, this time over ‘fight invite’

KUALA LUMPUR: A second PAS MP was suspended from the Dewan Rakyat this afternoon after Ahmad Marzuk Shaary (PN-Pengkalan Chepa) was earlier ordered to stay out of the House for two days.

Pendang MP Awang Hashim was suspended for 10 days for challenging other MPs to a physical fight outside Parliament last week.

Speaker Johari Abdul said he personally witnessed the incident after a heated exchange between MPs and was “very disappointed”.

“I want to take action against Pendang.And I was presiding (when the incident happened).

“I saw what happened. I am very disappointed. The gallery was open; schoolchildren were present,” he said, adding that such behaviour did not look good for the nation.

The alleged incident occurred after Abdul Hadi Awang (PN-Marang) implied in his debate on the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) that Kuala Lumpur’s problems were due to DAP and the unity government.

This led to a fiery exchange between MPs from both sides and a walkout by opposition MPs.

Several videos that later went viral showed Awang making gestures, apparently challenging others to a fight outside the Dewan Rakyat.
