KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 16 — Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Johari Abdul said there will soon be an etiquette guideline in Parliament to put an end to sexist remarks and the use of unparliamentary words.reported him as saying that such bad behaviour will not be tolerated any longer as the sessions are broadcasted in the media and accessible to everyone including children.
He said the events from when the Anti-Sexual Harassment act was debated in the Dewan Rakyat last July should not have happened, referring to the incident when then Pasir Salak MP Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman allegedly insulted several DAP women lawmakers of being foul-mouthed and indecent. “I don’t want to eject people, and I don’t want to punish people. Remember, MPs come with various backgrounds, experiences, and qualifications,” he said.
He said training sessions and seminars will be conducted in schools to appeal to students and adolescents when the Dewan Rakyat is not in session to build future lawmakers and give a preview of what it is like to be debating in the chambers.
