The commotion happened after Jamaludin Yahya (PN-Pasir Salak) read out the rules of the meeting for Guan Eng to retract his statement
However, Deputy Speaker Alice Lau Kiong did not pursue the matter and requested that the meeting continue.
Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim (Arau-PN) then stood up and asked Alice to take note and give a decision on the matter.
"Dear Speaker, the rules of the meeting have been issued. If you do not agree, say you do not agree. What is the use of meeting rules?" he said.
After that, a fight broke out between Shahidan and Gobind Singh Deo (Damansara-PN) who was preparing to ask questions during the meeting.
"We came to Parliament, I asked questions to get answers. Why is it left like that? He (Shahidan) does not understand the standing order. Can we continue with our question, Dear Speaker?" asked Gobind.
"I asked Bagan, not you. I asked Bagan," replied Shahidan in a high tone.
However, Alice reiterated that the Arau MP should remain calm and sit in his chair and for the session to resume
However, the argument between members of the lower house carried on when Datuk Awang Solahuddin Hashim (Pendang-PN) stood up to express his dissatisfaction when Alice did not give a decision on the matter.
"If there is no decision, to negotiate about Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's government, then we call upon Anwar's government," he said.
