Art Harun flees Dewan Rakyat, blasted for rejecting debate on Sulu heirs’ seizure of Petronas assets

KUALA LUMPUR – In an exciting start on the first day of the parliamentary sitting today, Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun fled the august house after coming under intense fire when opposition lawmakers questioned why the motion to debate the seizure of Petronas assets by Sulu claimants were rejected. 

Azhar traded furious verbal blows with several MPs – Isnaraissah Munirah Majilis (Kota Belud-Warisan), Ramkarpal Singh (Bukit Gelugor-PH) and Datuk Mohd Azis Jamman (Sepanggar-Warisan) – after disallowing the issue from being debated today.

Following the fiery exchange, Isnaraissah, who did not back down, has also been suspended for two days, effective immediately, for interrupting proceedings in the Dewan Rakyat.

Also, several opposition MPs are standing around Isnaraissah to stop her from being escorted out of the hall. – The Vibes, July 18, 2022
