Take your squabbles outside the House, warns Deputy Dewan Rakyat Speaker Alice Lau after a war of words erupted during the afternoon debates.
This comes after Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin (PN-Putrajaya) challenged Howard Lee (PH-Ipoh Timor) to a debate over the sale of Malaysia Airport Holdings Berhad (MAHB) shares to BlackRock Inc.
00:00Mr. Reporter, I would like to take a few minutes to say a few words about the sale of MAHB 30% to foreign companies.
00:24We, on the side of the opposition, have been trying our best to explain to the government and the people that the government does not need to sell a large block of MAHB 30% to foreign companies.
00:40We can continue to maintain this MAHB by the ability of companies in our country.
00:47On a financial basis, there is no reason to sell MAHB. On an economic basis, there is no reason to sell MAHB. On a strategic basis, there is no reason to sell MAHB. On a moral basis, there is no reason to sell MAHB.
01:01In this context, I would like to say to all parties involved out there, remember that this is a national strategic asset.
01:12In this book, RMK 12, almost RMK 1 billion has been spent to upgrade airports across the country.
01:23These airports have been built with people's money. These airports have been built for years.
01:29Therefore, this is an important national asset.
