KUALA LUMPUR: Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng was ejected from Parliament Wednesday night after a series of heated arguments with Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Dahlan..
It started off with the Urban Well-being, Housing and Local Government Minister branding Lim a liar.
Lim then asked Abdul Rahman to retract his statement.
Abdul Rahman refused to retract his statement and repeated that Lim was indeed lying.
However, Abdul Rahman defended his statement by saying that he had not addressed Lim as a liar, but that his words were fiction.
This was followed by an hour-long argument in the Dewan between politicians from both sides of the divide.
Opposition MPs, however, insisted that using the term "bohong (lying)" was against Parliamentary house rules.
Deputy Speaker Ismail Mohamad Said had said that it was not against house rules as the term was not directed at Lim as a person but at what he said.
However, Lim persisted with his argument that it was not allowed, which led to his ejection from the Dewan by Ismail.
