The MP for Serdang YB Teo Nie Ching gave notice to the Speaker that she intends to move a motion( namely adjournment- Definite matter of urgent public importance) to discuss the current issue affecting the Bandar Mahkota Cheras on the controversial wall built by toll operator Grand Saga which blocked access to the Cheras-Kajang Highway.
Unfortunately the speaker rejected the motion in Chambers and on the grounds this matter is pending in the High Court and apparently the minister had explained in detail in the House on 12/13 May 2008.
But YB Teo stood to say that this is an urgent matter which requires the house to debate this issue. The speaker disallowed her request.
Immediately I stood on a point of order namely under Standing order 18(3) (b) Standing Order 13 reads “ If the Tuan Yang di Pertua is so satisfied and informed either (a) leave of the house….
(b) If it is not given, at least fifteen members rise in their places to support the request, the motion shall stand over until 4.30 p.m. on the same day..
Over 20 MP’s stood up to support me on this issue. Thus under order 13(b) I felt the Speaker has no choice but to adjourn the matter to 4.30p.m. and to allow the matter to be debated. Unfortunately the Speaker disagreed with me. I stressed and mentioned that if this matter is not urgent then this house is irrelevant and will be a laughing stock of the nation if we fail to discuss matters which are current
My plea was shot down and well I hope to be lucky in the future.

Notice the words “If the Tuan Yang di Pertua is so satisfied and informed…”
Obviously the Speaker is NOT SO SATISFIED even though some residents are beaten up by thugs and NOT INFORMED of what is going on the issue of Mahkota Cheras even though major newspapers have been publishing the news over and over again.
Pretty strange for a Speaker to be appointed in the first place.

YB kula, what do you expect to have a BN Speaker? i think you guys just have to continue to haress them goons and strike them when the opportunity arises but make sure you do it carefully and do not let them catch you breaking the law and get suspended!
