GEORGE TOWN: Urban Well-being, Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan must retract his statement calling Lim Guan Eng a “liar”.
In a statement today, the Penang Chief Minister said Rahman should also do the honourable thing by apologising to him for causing him to be ejected from Parliament recently.
“I feel vindicated by the ruling made by Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia that the word ‘bohong’ (lie) in the House was unparliamentary.
“Tan Sri Pandikar even said : ‘If I were in the House yesterday, I would have instructed the honourable minister to retract the word lie which he had uttered’,” said Lim.
On Wednesday, Rahman had said that Lim “lied” about affordable homes in Penang at the Dewan Rakyat.
