Dewan Rakyat Speaker asks Rayer to write formally over Takiyuddin’s ‘munafik’ remark

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 26 — Jelutong Member of Parliament RSN Rayer has been asked to write an official letter to Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul if he wants Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan (PN-Kota Bharu) to be referred to the Parliament Rights and Privileges Committee.

Johari said that the committee will examine the matter regarding Takiyuddin’s use of the word “hypocrite” (munafik), which was linked to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim during the debate on the 2027 Budget last Monday, before making any decision.

“I will summon the committee to review it, and it will not be my decision afterwards. The decision will be made by the committee, which consists of members from both sides [of the house], and I will only announce it,” he said during the policy-level winding-up session of the Supply Bill 2027 (2027 Budget) debate in the Dewan Rakyat today.

Earlier, Rayer raised the issue under Standing Order 36(4), which prohibits members of the House from using unparliamentary language.

Johari explained that he had previously asked Takiyuddin to retract the word, but the PAS Secretary-General, via a letter dated October 22, suggested that a mediation process be held without retracting the word.

Johari also expressed disappointment when Takiyuddin subsequently made a statement to the media regarding the letter before he had the opportunity to respond.

Rayer stated that he complies with the rules of the House and believes Takiyuddin should do the same.

Last Wednesday, Johari said he had examined the Hansard before ruling that Takiyuddin must retract the word, either in the Dewan Rakyat or through a written explanation to the Speaker. — Bernama

吉隆坡，10月26日——日落洞国会议员RSN Rayer已被要求写一封正式信函给下议院议长丹斯里佐哈里阿卜杜勒，如果他希望将拿督斯里达基尤丁哈山（PN-哥打巴鲁）转介给国会权利和特权委员会。

佐哈里表示，委员会将审查塔基尤丁在2027年预算案辩论期间使用“伪君子”（munafik）一词一事，该词与首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣有关，之后才会做出任何决定。

“我将召集委员会进行审查，之后的决定将不由我做出。决定将由委员会做出，该委员会由两院议员组成，我只是宣布决定结果，”他在今天国会下议院就2027年财政预算案（2027年供应法案）进行的政策层面总结会议上说道。

此前，雷耶尔根据议事规则第 36(4) 条提出了这个问题，该规则禁止议员使用不符合议会规范的语言。

乔哈里解释说，他之前曾要求塔基尤丁收回这句话，但伊斯兰党秘书长在10月22日的一封信中建议，在不收回这句话的情况下进行调解。

乔哈里还表示，塔基尤丁在乔哈里有机会回应之前就就这封信向媒体发表了声明，这令他感到失望。

Rayer表示他遵守议会规则，并认为Takiyuddin也应该这样做。

上周三，佐哈里表示，他已查阅了议会记录，并裁定塔基尤丁必须收回此言，要么在下议院公开表态，要么向议长提交书面解释。——马新社
