BN lawmakers Noh Omar and Bung Moktar Radin said the sitting should be postponed temporarily so the speaker can deliberate on his decision, as this is a serious matter involving the constitution, following Istana Negara’s statement today.

“Because this is a serious and very important question, if I may suggest, when it involves something rather controversial, let us postpone the sitting first,” Noh had said.

Dewan Rakyat deputy speaker Rashid Hasnon postponed the sitting for 15 minutes in order to deliberate on a decision but when he came back around 12.45pm, he announced the ruling will be made after lunch break, when the sitting resumes at 2.30pm.
