The adjournment was announced by Deputy Speaker Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said in the House at 2.30pm. Meetings are still ongoing regarding the order of business for Thursday (July 29) and in line with Standing Orders 12(2), proceedings will be postponed till 3.30pm, she said in the House.
Her announcement was met with disbelief by many Opposition MPs, with RSN Rayer (PH-Jelutong) questioning why the Parliament sitting was further adjourned.
“Why, Speaker? This cannot be it, Speaker. Why are you running away?” he said to Azalina as she left the Dewan.
Teo Nie Ching (PH-Kulai) demanded the Speaker resign, saying there was nothing else to discuss.
