PAS rep calls finance minister ‘pondan’, Opposition MPs then stage Parliament walkout

KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 — The entire Opposition staged a walkout today after a heated shouting match during Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng’s windup speech for the second reading of the Supplementary Supply Bill 2019.

During his windup, Lim had demanded Ahmad Marzuk to show him the evidence but when the latter tried to do so before the Lower House, the finance minister asked him to submit a letter together with the evidence outside of Parliament.“This is my floor, give me the evidence later. Stop playing with sentiments, we have allowed for open tender only for Bumiputera contractors,” Lim replied.

“Why should Pengkalan Chepa send a letter? He should be allowed to present his evidence here so the public can know about it! We can resolve this here in Parliament.”
