Opposition Lawmakers Walk Out

The Opposition bloc, led by Kota Bharu MP Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan, exited the Dewan Rakyat almost immediately after the special sitting began. Takiyuddin, who also serves as the Opposition's chief whip, stated that the sitting should be postponed.
Call for Deferment

Takiyuddin argued that the parliamentary session should be deferred until Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim recovers and resumes his duties. He expressed that debating the RCI report without the Prime Minister present would be akin to holding a press conference, suggesting a lack of substantive debate. The Prime Minister is currently recuperating and undergoing physiotherapy following elective laparoscopic surgery for a para-umbilical hernia.
