Speaker shoots down motion on police shooting
  • 9 years ago
An emergency motion to debate the shooting of three males - aged between 15 and 22 years - in Glenmarie, Shah Alam on Nov 13 was rejected today.

The motion filed by R Sivarasa (PKR-Subang) under Standing Order 18(1) was denied in chambers yesterday by deputy speaker Wan Junaidi Jaafar.

Sivarasa (left) wanted to debate the incident which had claimed the lives of Mohd Shamil Hafiz Shapiei, 15, Mohd Hairul Nizam Tuah, 20, and Mohd Hanafi Omar, 22, as it had worsened the image of the police.

The Dewan Rakyat deputy speaker had rejected the motion on the grounds that the motion was not specific, urgent and of public interest. However, Sivarasa said that he will bring up the issue during debate on the Supply Bill 2011.
