Floods: You will pay for your indifference, netizens chide Art Harun

Floods: You will pay for your indifference, netizens chide Art Harun



NETIZENS took to social media to berate Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun for not allowing an emergency motion to discuss the flood crisis filed by MPs to be debated at the Dewan Rakyat.



User Tan 1956 echoed Denison sentiments, saying:



Netizen Eifha Munirah did not mince her words, retorting: Zalim (Cruel). Art Harun, demi Allah people are dying by drowning, a lot are cold on roofs, hungry, can’t go to pee and poo properly with clean water, paralyzed, old people & oku cut off from their meds in the flood.

“I really doa, tuhan saksi what i say right now, that you burn in hell.”



Yesterday, the Dewan Rakyat erupted after Opposition MPs criticised Azhar for stopping lawmakers from discussing about the flood crisis which had ravaged parts of Peninsula Malaysia.

In his defence, the Speaker said that MPs cannot simply change the issues being debated without referring to the order paper.

“I know it’s an important matter but we must follow the rules,” he added.

However, Opposition MPs chided Azhar for not taking the matter seriously but the latter stood his ground.

Apathetic to the people’s suffering

On that note, user Lara Winchester remarked that Azhar would not be talking like that if it was his family stranded due to flood.



(Hey, this is a national disaster and an emergency situation. Yet, you want to follow rules. Of course, you’re fine because it is not your family who are stranded, starving, gone missing or got perched on the roof top for days. Can we throw this imbecile into the Klang River? Perhaps, that will educate him on what is an emergency all about)

Netizen Safiya added:



(The Speaker doesn’t understand the word emergency and urgency. Perhaps he should work at a hospital’s emergency unit to learn the meanings of the words) – Dec 21, 2021.
