KUALA LUMPUR: Its a foul mouth fiesta in the Dewan Rakyat as lawmakers are throwing vulgar languages to each other for two consecutive days.
An enraged Barisan Nasional Kinabatangan MP Bung Moktar Radin today became the latest addition to lawmakers who had uttered vulgarity in the August house when he said ‘F*** Y**’ on the mic during the Dewan Rakyat sitting.
Bung said the ‘F word’ after he was triggered by remarks made by Pakatan Harapan Puncak Borneo lawmaker Willie Mongin who asked the former if he had went to the Casino instead of a marketplace.
“What is this? Rude! This is very rude! Retract your statement, this is rude Yang DiPertua (Speaker), absolutely rude. (Puncak Borneo) doesn’t deserve to be here. Thug! What you want? You want to fight me? This time. F*** Y**!” said Bung in the Dewan Rakyat.
This instantly turned the civilised Dewan to chaos when lawmakers from both side were also triggered by the incident, be it in an attempt to defend Bung or to get him booted out of the Dewan.
The ruckus was saved by the bell when Deputy Speaker Mohd Rashid Hasnon called for the sitting to be adjourned for lunch break at 1.00pm.
Earlier, Bung had interrupted BN Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin to support the latter who was debating on the second tabling of the Sales and Services Tax (SST).
Bung said during his visit at the Selayang Marketplace, he noticed that the price was slightly higher compared to the time when GST was introduced.
It was during this time that Willie had asked Bung ‘bukan casino ke Kinabatangan?’ which directly translates to ‘wasn’t it the casino Kinabatangan?’.
The remark made by Willie came after an alleged photograph of Bung in the premise of a casino went viral on social media.
Yesterday, a similar case took place when PH Jelutong MP RSN Rayer in the Dewan had uttered ‘kepala bapak’ (your father’s head) as an insult to BN Larut MP Hamzah Zainudin after debates on controversial state investment arm 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) went south.
Rayer was asking Hamzah if 1MDB is a factor in causing foreign investors to lose confidence in Malaysia to which the latter objected, claiming 1MDB is unconnected to foreign investment.
This had lead to a furore in the Dewan. In the midst of the ruckus, BN Lipis MP Abdul Rahman Mohamad was heard to have used an even more vulgar insult (p******) which lead to Speaker Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof urging Abdul Rahman to retract his statement, to which he did.
