Kuala Lumpur: An opposition MP says no action will be taken against him following allegations that he had vaped while in the Dewan Rakyat last month.
Tanah Merah MP Ikmal Hisham Abdul Aziz said he received a letter from Dewan Rakyat Speaker Johari Abdul informing him of the matter.
The Speaker wrote that after checks, he could not ascertain whether the MP was smoking an e-cigarette inside the Dewan Rakyat.
“Thus, no action will be taken,” Ikmal told the lower house this afternoon.
