The Dewan Rakyat has instructed Transport Minister Wee Ka Siong to provide an explanation over his statement on cabotage policy, which is said to have misled the house on Sept 30.

This came after Lim Guan Eng (Harapan-Bagan) filed a motion to Dewan Rakyat speaker Azhar Azizan Harun on Oct 11, requesting Wee to be referred to the Rights and Privileges Committee.

In a letter issued to Wee on the same day, Azhar also requested Wee to provide evidence or document to substantiate his explanation.
