#KiniNews: 'Remove me if you don't like me' - speaker tells MPs; Goldman Sachs sues M'sia

[KiniNews] Dewan Rakyat speaker Johari Abdul said parliamentarians should remove him from his position via a motion if they do not like the way he handles the sittings.

This comes after an argument broke out in the house earlier over alleged “conflict of interest” in the approval of a motion submitted by Taufiq Johari (Pakatan Harapan-Sungai Petani). Taufiq is Johari’s son.

The argument started when Pendang MP Awang Hashim said “anak bapa” (father’s son) after Arau MP Shahidan Kassim questioned why Taufiq’s motion which was submitted on Wednesday was approved before his when he submitted his motion on Tuesday.

Deputy speaker Alice Lau, who was presiding over the session at the time, explained that there was no conflict of interest as Taufiq’s motion was given to her fellow deputy speaker Ramli Mohd Nor to deliberate.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, Goldman Sachs Group has filed legal action against Malaysia in a United Kingdom (UK) court in relation to the settlement agreement linked to the bank’s role in the 1MDB affair.
