Pasir Salak MP Tajuddin Abdul Rahman allegedly accused DAP’s women MPs of being rude and indecent during the debate on the sexual harassment bill last Wednesday (Bernama pic)KUALA LUMPUR: Deputy speaker Rashid Hasnon says he will decide latest tomorrow whether to take action against Tajuddin Abdul Rahman (BN-Pasir Salak) over alleged sexist remarks in the Dewan Rakyat last week.
Rashid said he had received a letter from Kasthuri Patto (PH-Batu Kawan) asking for action to be taken against Tajuddin for his behaviour last Wednesday.
“I received the letter and the Dewan Rakyat Speaker (Azhar Harun) told me to handle it,” he said in the Dewan Rakyat.
“I’ve summarised the issue and will make my decision tomorrow at the latest.”
Rashid also said he had arranged to meet witnesses who allegedly heard Tajuddin make a lewd remark after turning off his microphone.
Earlier, Kasthuri said she had sent a letter to the Speaker asking for action against Tajuddin.
Tajuddin had accused DAP women MPs of being “biadap” (rude) and “tidak senonoh” (indecent).
This happened during the debate on the sexual harassment bill when Rashid was overseeing proceedings.
In the letter, Kasthuri urged Tajuddin to apologise and withdraw his “obscene words”.
“We are shocked by such indecent and unacceptable behaviour, which cannot be accepted by any member of Parliament, be it on that side (government) or this side (opposition),” she said.
She also claimed that there were nine witnesses who allegedly heard Tajuddin use an expletive after switching off the microphone.
RSN Rayer (PH-Jelutong) also asked Rashid to take immediate action, especially since Tajuddin had not denied the allegations.
“This is proof that Tajuddin does not deny having uttered the obscene word,” he said. - FMT
