FMT:
Probe Hadi on alleged plan to topple govt, urges Rayer
The Jelutong MP’s call for the PAS president to be probed sparked an uproar among opposition lawmakers in the Dewan Rakyat.
Jelutong MP RSN Rayer said Marang MP Abdul Hadi Awang should be probed under Section 124B of the Penal Code.
KUALA LUMPUR: RSN Rayer (PH-Jelutong) has urged the home minister to investigate Abdul Hadi Awang (PN-Marang) for allegedly plotting to topple the government.
He said Hadi should be probed under Section 124B of the Penal Code for “committing an activity detrimental to parliamentary democracy”, which carries a jail term of up to 20 years.
“This unity government is one that was decreed by the King,” he said in the Dewan Rakyat, describing Hadi’s remarks as “treason against the King”.
Yesterday, FMT reported Hadi as saying that the opposition had every right to formulate plans to topple the current government, adding that no one could stop it from doing so.
Hadi told reporters in Parliament that the opposition was working on retaking Putrajaya “not only through elections but also in Parliament”, adding that this was commonplace in a democratic country.
Dismissing the notion that attempts to topple the government would go against Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah’s wish for political stability in the country, Hadi said the King could not prevent changes in a democratic nation.
Rayer’s call for Hadi to be probed sparked an uproar among opposition MPs in the Dewan Rakyat, with Misbahul Munir Masduki (PN-Parit Buntar) coming to Hadi’s defence, saying that the PAS president was only making a political statement.
In response, Rayer said Hadi’s statement could be taken as a confession of such plans. “Imagine what would happen if such a statement was made by DAP MPs,” he said.
Khlir Mohd Nor (PN-Ketereh) then challenged Rayer to lodge a police report against Hadi if he had proof of such plans to topple the government.
The arguments continued between the MPs of both sides, forcing deputy speaker Alice Lau to mute their microphones and telling them to “cool down”.
Che Zulkifly Jusoh (PN-Besut) then cited Standing Order 23(1)(i), which states that MPs may not be questioned in the Dewan Rakyat on the accuracy of statements made in the press.
The MPs continued to argue, but ceased when Lau firmly told them that any MP who spoke out of order would be ejected from the Dewan Rakyat.
