  • From Acting Opposition Leader to YB 'Tarik Balik' Malaysiakini.Com November 08, 2010
    From acting opposition leader to YB 'tarik balik' Malaysiakini.com November 08, 2010 Teluk Bahang (Umno) assemblyperson Hilmi Yahya had a daunting task today to deliver the opposition leader's speech on the recently announced 2011 budget at the Penang state assembly. Hilmi, who became acting opposition leader following Azhar Ibrahim's six-month suspension from the assembly for uttering seditious remarks, however, was not prepared for the missiles awaiting him inside the Dewan. NONEHe appeared so unprepared that at every juncture, he was interjected by Pakatan Rakyat assemblypersons, asking him to withdraw either an 'offensive' word, a 'scandalous' statement or an accusation of corruption against his opponents. To his credit, Hilmi (left), who is a former Penang deputy chief minister, readily withdrew his problematic utterances as soon as he made them when asked to provide evidence of his allegations. “I will retract the statement to save time,” he said, although he had been asked to retract his statement about 20 times in the morning session alone. One of his allegations involved accusing Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng of accepting bribery for his recent business trip to Australia in September. He was shot down immediately and fiercely by the usually mild-mannered Tanjong assemblyperson Chow Kon Yeow, who demanded that he retract his accusations or provide proof within 24 hours, failing which, he would be referred to the powerful privileges and rights committee. “I am just expressing the grievances of the rakyat,” explained Hilmi, but was told to withdraw his statement by house speaker Abdul Halim Hussain, which he eventually complied with.
