Keputusan itu dibuat oleh Yang Dipertua Dewan Rakyat Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun selepas Ketua Pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim membangkitkan ketetapan Dewan Rakyat semalam yang mengehadkan hanya 80 Ahli Parlimen berada di dalam dewan semasa persidangan. Anwar bangun membangkitkan perkara itu sebelum pembentangan Belanjawan 2021 oleh Menteri Kewangan Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz pada kira-kira 4.20 petang. Permohonan Anwar itu mendapat sokongan Ahli Parlimen daripada blok kerajaan dan pembangkang. Antara yang menyokong ialah Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin (BN-Kinabatangan), Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman (BN-Pasir Salak) dan Lim Guan Eng (PH-Bagan). Terdahulu, Anwar berkata semua langkah pencegahan bagi mengekang penularan COVID-19 telah diambil di bangunan Parlimen untuk memastikan persidangan Dewan Rakyat berjalan lancar. https://www.mof.gov.my/ms/berita/akhbar/bernama-semua-ahli-parlimen-dibenar-masuk-dewan-rakyat-dengar-pembentangan-belanjawan-2021 1/3 3/12/2021 Bernama - Semua Ahli Parlimen Dibenar Masuk Dewan Rakyat Dengar Pembentangan Belanjawan 2021 “Ini sesi yang penting khusus untuk mendengar ucapan Belanjawan Menteri Kewangan untuk Speaker memberikan ruang Ahli-ahli Parlimen hadir (yang) menunggu di luar untuk masuk ke dalam dewan,” katanya.English Bung Moktar yang menyokong permohonan itu menyifatkan ia adalah cadangan paling baik kerana pembentangan Belanjawan 2021 adalah amat penting untuk wakil-wakil rakyat mendengarnya dengan teliti. "Mengikut peraturan mesyuarat Seaker mempunyai kuasa untuk benarkan mereka masuk,” katanya apabila Azhar menjelaskan bahawa perkara itu telah diperhalusi dan dipersetujui secara konsensus oleh ketua-ketua Whip parti serta dibuat pemasyuran dalam Dewan Rakyat semalam. Semalam, Dewan Rakyat mengambil ketetapan untuk membenarkan hanya 80 Ahli Parlimen menghadiri persidangan,yang terdiri daripada 41 blok kerajaan, 39 pembangkang dan Bebas bagi memastikan kelancaran persidangan ketika pandemik COVID-19. Keputusan itu dicapai melalui Mesyuarat Penyelarasan Urusan Dewan Rakyat Berikutan Penularan Wabak COVID- 19 yang turut dihadiri 10 ketua Whip parti. -- LAGI PARLIMEN-SPEAKER (MASUK) 3 (AKHIR) KUALA LUMPUR Turut menyokong ialah Tajuddin yang menyatakan bahawa terdapat banyak tempat kosong di dalam dewan dan memohon wakil rakyat yang berada di luar dewan dibenarkan masuk dengan memastikan pematuhan prosedur operasi standard (SOP). Lim pula memohon pertimbangan Azhar kerana yang membuat permohonan kali ini adalah Ketua Pembangkang dan bukannya Ketua Whip. “Bolehlah kita pertimbangkan untuk satu hari, satu sesi, kerana belanjawan adalah antara hari yang paling penting untuk Parlimen… kalau nak laksanakan (mengehadkan 80 Ahli parlimen) kita laksanakan minggu depan,” katanya. Sementara itu, Tan Sri Noh Omar (BN-Tanjung Karang) berkata tindakan mengehadkan kehadiran Ahli Parlimen ke Dewan Rakyat hari ini adalah bertentangan dengan demokrasi. “Semalam, Speaker bagi tahu bila ada undi belah bahagi semua dibenarkan masuk untuk mengundi, apa beza dengan hanya dengar ucapan paling lama tiga jam atau setakat dua jam, apa salahnya benarkan rakan-rakan kita di luar sana, ini bertentangan dengan prinsip demokrasi,” katanya. Azhar kemudian menangguhkan persidangan selama lima minit bagi membolehkan semua Ahli Parlimen memasuki dewan untuk mendengar pembentangan Belanjawan 2021 dan berkata keputusan mengehadkan kehadiran kepada hanya 80 orang merupakan keputusan ketua whip secara konsensus. “Saya ingin nasihatkan di masa hadapan, kalau dapat permintaan sebegini rupa, lebih baik saya diberi notis terlebih dahulu, saya tidak suka buat keputusan secara bersendirian, saya suka secara konsensus libat urus semua pihak,” katanya selepas semua Ahli parlimen memasuki dewan. -- BERNAMA Siaran Media Koleksi Ucapan Petikan Akhbar Foto https://www.mof.gov.my/ms/berita/akhbar/bernama-semua-ahli-parlimen-dibenar-masuk-dewan-rakyat-dengar-pembentangan-belanjawan-2021 2/3 3/12/2021 Bernama - Semua Ahli Parlimen Dibenar Masuk Dewan Rakyat Dengar Pembentangan Belanjawan 2021 Video English Pengumuman POPULAR TAGS B E R N A M A H A R G A M I N YA K P R I C E O F P E T R O L E U M T E N G K U Z A F R U L B A N T U A N P R I H AT I N N A S I O N A L K W S P I - S I N A R S I N A R H A R I A N J E L A J A H B E L A N J AWA N 2 0 2 1 P R I H AT I N M O F P E R M A I B E R I TA H A R I A N Copyright © 2021 Kementerian Kewangan Malaysia.

    Sabah BN Must Overcome Voters' Unhappiness, State Leaders Say

    Sabah BN must overcome voters’ unhappiness, state leaders say Malaysian Insider October 07, 2012 By Ida Lim KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 — The Sabah government needs to find out why voters surveyed last month are dissatisfied with it, especially the economy, and work to improve their services, say Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders from the coalition’s key votebank. A Merdeka Center survey released on Friday showed that 57 per cent were dissatisfied with Sabah’s economic performance and only 56 per cent of Sabah voters were satisfied with the state government, a six per cent drop from 62 per cent in November 2009. The country’s easternmost state has been described as BN’s “fixed deposit”. “I think the only way to solve all the problem, BN Sabah should work smart and consider what (are the) people’s problem, what people need,” said senior Umno backbencher Datuk Bung Moktar Radin, adding that the BN goverment “should do more” to develop the state. But Bung Mokhtar said the state government cannot deliver everything, pointing out that it was the same for other states and even United States President Barack Obama has been criticised by his own people. “What I can see state government is hardworking, of course not everything they can deliver,” the Kinabatangan MP told The Malaysian Insider. “The people, they know how to see you, they know how to judge you. We cannot hide anything,” he said, when commenting on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman’s ratings. The survey showed Najib’s ratings remaining stable at 75 per cent, but Musa’s fell from 60 per cent in November 2009 to 45 per cent in September, suggesting the ruling BN will be faced with some hurdles in its stronghold ahead of elections soon.

    Probed under OSA, Muhyiddin hopes he won't share Rafizi's fate MalaysiaKini.com Nov 15 th , 2016 Kow Gah Chie & Zulaikha Zulkifli Former deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin, who is being investigated under the Official Secrets Act (OSA), hopes he too will not get a jail sentence, as was handed to PKR's Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli. "While I sympathise with what happened to Rafizi. I hope I will not fall into the same situation," Muhyiddin said after spending two hours in Bukit Aman to record his statement. "This is because I do believe that when I speak in Parliament, I do have the right to speak and I do have immunity." He was asked if he was worried that he would end up like Rafizi, who was convicted and sentenced to 18 months' jail under the OSA for leaking Page 98 of the auditor-general's report on 1MDB. Muhyiddin is currently being investigated under Section 8 of the OSA and Section 4 of the Sedition Act for his budget debate on Oct 26, which touched on 1MDB. Meanwhile, Sepang MP Hanipa Maidin ( photo ) said there is nothing wrong for any parliamentarian in the Dewan Rakyat to touch on matters under the OSA. Hanipa said this is based on the fact that elected representatives are protected by parliamentary immunity, and as such they cannot be charged for speaking out in the House. He said action could only be taken against an MP who utters remarks deemed to be seditious. “The speech by Pagoh (Muhyiddin) has no seditious elements and if what he said had touched on any official secret under the Standing Orders, or on any official matter, (he) cannot be charged under the OSA.

NONESebelum itu, usul penggantungan Ketua Pembangkang, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim diundi tanpa dibahaskan. Tindakan itu menimbulkan rasa tidak senang di kalangan ahli parlimen Pakatan Rakyat. "Kita akan teruskan dan membuang undi, tanpa membahaskan usul ini," kata Pandikar disambut laungan setuju dari ahli parlimen BN. Semua semua ahli parlimen pembangkang kemudiannya keluar dewan.

    We’re not as credulous as KJ, RM2.6b scandal not over yet MalaysiaKini.com Apr 19 th , 2016 Yoursay YOURSAY | ‘No, the issue of the so-called donation is far from resolved.’ Khairy: With Saudi minister claim, RM2.6b donation issue resolved Odin Tajué : Ministers Khairy Jamaluddin and Azalina Othman Said, one can understand why your offering of obsessive loyalty to PM Najib Razak but one totally fails to see how people of your position could have zero respect for the intelligent section of the populace and pretend to be oblivious of what are so obvious and demand absolutely no abstract thinking. Let us get the easier thing out of the way first. A sum of US$3.51 billion had been diverted to a party that was not the rightful payee. This fact was known not exactly a minute ago but at least days, if not weeks or months or years, ago. Yet until today, there does not seem to be any action taken to file a report of grand theft or to institute any other appropriate action to initiate the recovery process. One is forced to conclude that none of these actions has been taken because the diverting of the money was intentional. Now to the supposed confirmation by Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir of the so-called donation. Adel's confirmation is of no value whatsoever. It is a farce. Reason No 1 : He has never been privy to the transfer of ±US$681 million to Najib's personal bank accounts. Reason no 2: His confirmation contradicts what he has said just a little more than two months ago, and it was made after his meeting with Najib.

Pernyataan seksis, perkataan kesat, serangan peribadi termasuk pernyataan merendah-rendahkan orang (condescending) adalah dianggap sebagai bahasa kurang sopan dalam Parlimen yang tidak seharusnya mempunyai tempat dalam mana- mana badan perundangan.

Peraturan Mesyuarat 36(4) Peraturan-peraturan Majlis Mesyuarat Dewan Rakyat merupakan pengawal utama terhadap kesalahan menggunakan bahasa kesat dan pernyataan seksis di dalam Dewan Rakyat.

    Jeffrey: Report an 'Eyewash' to Save Dr M Malaysiakini.Com Dec 3, 2014 Veteran Sabah Politician Jeffrey Kitingan Has Described T

    Jeffrey: Report an 'eyewash' to save Dr M MalaysiaKini.com Dec 3, 2014 Veteran Sabah politician Jeffrey Kitingan has described the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) report on foreigners in the state as an "eyewash" to save former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad. "The people of Sabah are unhappy," the State Reform Party (Star) chairperson told Malaysiakini. He said it was "impossible for the government to be blameless" with regard to the "Project IC" when identification cards were produced by the government. He added that contents of the report were "disappointing and pointless" despite the commission taking a long time to unveil its findings and recommendations. "Is this all they have come up with after taking such a long time to produce the report?" he asked. Another term used for "Project IC" is "Project M", where the "M" stood for Mahathir, who is often described as the mastermind behind the alleged granting of citizenship to illegal immigrants in return for votes. Jeffrey has been critical of the alleged project and even described it as a "dangerous, ticking time bomb". He previously said the government's lack of action against the fake Sabahan/Malaysian identity cards as "treasonous". RCI clears gov't and political parties However, the RCI report released this afternoon, though acknowledging the possibility of such a scheme taking place, had cleared the government and political parties of any involvement. According to the report, syndicates comprising former National Registration Department officers were to be blamed. Last year, when testifying before the commission, Mahathir denied any knowledge of such an operation.

    20210415 PPRT a Priority for Sabah

    SIARAN AKHBAR Press Release PEJABAT MEDIA & KOMUNIKASI JABATAN KETUA MENTERI 15 April, 2021 KOTA KINABALU: Housing for the hardcore poor under the people's housing programme (PPRT) throughout Sabah will be prioritised, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Haji Noor. He said the State government will look to build more houses especially in the rural and interior areas. At present, an average of just eight PPRT houses have been approved for construction at each state constituency and this certainly warrant change, he stressed. Under the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP), a sum of RM500 million has been allocated to build PPRT houses in Sabah but the State government will seek a bigger allocation, said the Chief Minister when chairing the State Development Action Council meeting at the State Administrative Centre (PPNS) near here Thursday. The issue was discussed at length during the meeting attended by all state cabinet ministers, permanent secretaries and department heads. In terms of implementation, Hajiji said a request had also been submitted to the Federal Rural Development Ministry to consider giving opportunity to F Class contractors in Sabah to do the project. Addressing the Council earlier, the Chief Minister reminded all implementing federal and state agencies to continue improving performances and qualities of projects for the people’s benefit. According to him, poor workmanship has rendered some buildings unusable upon completion such as the People’s Housing Programme or PPR Salagon in Beaufort. Hajiji also mentioned the Sapulut - Kalabakan Road that he found to be below par compared with the North South Highway, which can accommodate trucks carrying bigger loads.
