KUALA LUMPUR: In a swipe at the opposition, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said some elected representatives were nowhere to be found during last month’s floods.
Ismail told the Dewan Rakyat today he had gone to flood-hit areas late at night to monitor victims being moved to evacuation centres.
“I don’t know, some MPs and assemblymen went missing at that time,” he said, sparking protests from Mohamad Sabu (PH-Kota Raja) and Khalid Samad (PH-Shah Alam) and others.
The House then erupted into chaos after Ismail took a swipe at the Selangor government, with opposition MPs interjecting to protest against his remarks.
“The prime minister cannot make insinuations like that,” said Salahuddin Ayub (PH-Pulai). — Free Malaysia Today
