SCUFFLE BREAKS OUT IN PARLIMENT


Gobind Singh Deo, is finger pointing with Umno Youth Megat Zulkarnain Omardin UMNO Youth member

KUALA LUMPUR: In a day of shame, Parliament came close to emulating the Taiwan legislature.
A fisticuffs was
prevented, but not before a scuffle broke out and finally causes an havoc.
The drama started when DAP chairman Karpal Singh was confronted by about 20 Selangor Umno Youth members as the Bukit Gelugor MP was entering the Tower Block at 2.45pm.
The group, who had been waiting for Karpal since 1.30pm, surrounded the wheelchair-bound Karpal and demanded that he apologise for calling Umno Youth celaka (damn) in the house on Wednesday.
Karpal had also accused the wing of sending bullets in the mail to him recently. The feisty politician refused.
Fellow Pakatan Rakyat MPs Fong Kui Lun (DAP-Bukit Bintang), N. Gobalakrishnan (PKR-Padang Serai) and Lim Lip Eng (DAP-Segambut) who had just come back from lunch, went to help Karpal after being told by Parliament staff of the incident.
The MPs said they were roughed up and shoved by some of the Umno Youth members. "One even pulled my tie. At one point, I nearly fell into the fountain," Lim said.
However, the three MPs managed to get Karpal into the house, while the group continued to heckle and shout at them.
Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim condemned the incident, calling it the “pinnacle of insolence”. “We are fed-up with promises that action will be taken and we don’t just want any investigations, we want an assurance from the speaker that the sanctity of this Parliament will not be destroyed,” he said.
Karpal, who met
Dewan Rakyat speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia in chambers later asked Pandikar to evoke the parliamentary law and issue a warrant of arrest against those who ambushed him.
However, the Pandikar said that it would be more suitable to establish a special committee to investigate the matter under Section 80(A) under the Standing Orders.
