Tabung Haji RCI debate - Anwar drubs PN over walkout; No need to waste time, says Hamzah

KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who recently underwent surgery, has accused the opposition of neglecting Tabung Haji depositors by refusing to participate in a special Dewan Rakyat debate on the royal commission of inquiry report into the pilgrimage fund.This came after opposition MPs walked out of the Dewan Rakyat when their request to postpone the sitting over Anwar’s absence on health grounds was rejected.Meanwhile, in a separate story, opposition leader Hamzah Zainudin questioned why they should waste time on a special sitting to discuss the RCI report if it amounts only to a ministerial briefing with no decision or vote.“It is a briefing session. If it is just a briefing, what are they asking us to debate? If there is a matter or a motion to be tabled, then we can debate it. This has to be understood," he said.Hamzah, who is the Wawasan president, also questioned why the RCI report only covered events up to 2020, saying subsequent developments were not addressed.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
