KUALA LUMPUR: A video depicting Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein vaping during Parliamentary proceedings has made the rounds on social media.

The video had shown Hishammuddin sneaking a vape behind his face mask while his colleague Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong was speaking during Parliamentary proceedings.

The eight-second video was believed to be taken on Monday , when Dr Wee was delivering his winding-up speech.“Sorry, I didn’t realise - it’s a new habit. I apologise to the Dewan and promise not to do it again, ” he tweeted. Smoking is strictly prohibited in Parliament and the rule was tightened during Pakatan Harapan’s former administration, where former health minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad had declared Parliament as a non-smoking area in October 2018.

Anyone found breaking the law can be slapped with a maximum of RM500 compound and can be fined up to RM10,000 or face imprisonment of up to two months, or both.
